Atlas Wines Section 32 GSM
Yep, this is what Aussie grenache blends are all about. Depth of flavour, palate weight, silky mouthfeel and bursting with ripe, juicy fruits. A simply gorgeous wine for pretty much any time of night (or day) - no judgement here. Some things are just meant to be together; Vegemite and cheese, bacon and eggs, grenache, shiraz and mataro. There's a reason winemakers have been blending these grapes for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Grenache brings juicy, jubey fruit and a smooth, silky mouthfeel. Shiraz brings spice, palate weight and a bit of grunt (this is Australia after all). Mataro (or mourvédre) brings a savoury earthiness, beautiful aromatics and structural acid. After months of painstaking blending and many, many taste tests, we get this wonderful little drop: A complex and complete wine that's soft enough for pinot drinkers and gutsy enough for old school shiraz drinkers. If you like energetic, vibrant wines, drink it young. If you like savoury, brooding wines, wait 5 years. The choice is yours!
