Riverland
From a cooler year on the edge of Australia’s outback, this Grenache blend is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced. The hardy varieties suit the dry Riverland climate, giving lifted red fruits, savoury spice and supple tannins. Vibrant, generous, and ready to share.
What it's like
Candied raspberries and cherries lead the way, with blue fruits, earthy forest notes, and a fine chalky texture. A lively acidity ties it all together for a refreshing finish.

Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, 90 points
It’s lush and super soft, inky and has a bite of freshness to it all. Plummy fruit, a touch of chocolaty character, some herbal stuff, a bit minty, some saline touches. It reminds me of wines from tavernas and trattorias that gets poured from a carafe. Easy drinking but super pleasing, washy and glorious in its freshness and depth. A little spritz perhaps in there too, nicely played. Slurpy stuff, done well.
