DESCRIPTION
This classic Southern Rhone blend bursts with aromas of blackberry and fiery cherry over notes of fragrant violets and chai spices. The inclusion of small percentages of whole clusters in the ferment provided additional perfume and floral effect. The palate is initially juicy and sweet, combining crisp red plums and red licorice from the Grenache, with Syrah and Mataro adding structure, spice and flavor. The finish is persistent with layers of cocoa, cherry liqueur and a framework of firm, gravelly tannins.
REGION
Margaret River
Australia
Margaret River, located in the southwest of Australia, is one of the country’s true wine gems. Renowned for its elegant Chardonnays with intense citrus notes and its highly refined Cabernet Sauvignons, the region enjoys a temperate ocean-influenced climate similar to that of Bordeaux. This unique terroir produces wines with a more European style, combining freshness, precision, and excellent ageing potential.
Today, the region also captivates with expressive blends and limited-production cuvées of remarkable finesse.
Recommended for you:
I was charmed by its red fruit sweetness and subtle herbal note. A generous yet digestible wine.
