Brash Higgins, GR/M, Grenache Mataro 2020
DESCRIPTION
Let's get biodynamic! This blend takes the dark, savoury spiciness of the Mataro and mixes it with the lively, berry-forward Grenache. It's like pairing night and day. A sweet, floral opening act introduces a bouquet of tar, orange peel and spice. Medium-bodied, this wine is soft and silky and perfectly balanced. Why not pair it with a lamb shank, duck or a mushroom risotto?
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, located just south of Adelaide, is very highly regarded throughout both Australia and the world. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite location to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
