| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
TORBRECK |
| Fairly deep purple colour with an attractive, very spicy, black cherry purée nose plus some faintly smoky, cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, harmonious, quite well structured, spicy, plummy, intense, ripe, black cherry flavours with lingering, fairly juicy, tropical fruit cocktail tinged finish. This ready-to-drink, crowd-pleasing blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre and 10% Shiraz has 14.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number 192621 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Screwcap closure. |

| TASTING NOTE: Australia is home to the oldest ungrafted Grenache and Shiraz vines in the world, and Torbreck has some plots that range from 120 to nearly 160 years old. Hand-picked and aged in old French oak, this wine is rich and ripe, with lush red and dark fruit, spice and delicate smoke and earth tones. An easy-drinking, expressive wine perfect for barbecued fare. |
