Matured for 14 months in French oak hogsheads. Dense black as night heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced ripe black cherry, dark plum and liquorice scents take form followed by some vanillin cedar, earth and spicy dried herb notes. Rich fleshy dark cherry and plum fruits overlay a liquorice, vanillin earth, spice and fresh Mediterranean herb back drop. Polished tannin structure with a ripe slightly rustic feel to the medium length finish. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Alc. 13.8%

Savoury and slightly earthy notes combine on the nose with attractive dark cherry aromas. The berry flavours are long on the palate and smoothly textured, finishing with light but persistent tannins.

Intense ruby red. Aromas of blackberry and undergrowth, black pepper, liquorice, cloves scents and balsamic notes. Full bodied, dark fruits and spicy, dry with soft tannins, elegant with persistent and clean finish. Serving temperature 18°C approx. roasted or grilled meat, game, seasoned cheese.

Illuminati Riparosso is a long term favourite here at Dan Murphy's. Always displaying intense red currant/red cherry/tobacco aromas along with ripe fruit and soft tannins that are the hallmarks of this amazing value red wine made from the Montepulciano grape.

A riserva wine which highlights the quality this region can achieve. The nose shows dark fruit with meaty notes, and the palate is textured with persistent, powdery tannins. A superb food wine.

Bruno & George Eden Valley Montepulciano, Barossa Valley Montepulciano, or Monte as it is colloquially known among grape growers and winemakers in Australia, hails from the Apennines of Central Italy, particularly the mountainous regions of Abruzzo and the inland zones of neighbouring Marche. Capable of burly wines with a firm backbone of ferruginous tannins, bright acidity and a palette of darker fruit aspersions lifted by whiffs of dried tobacco and smoked meats, Montepulciano suits the torrid climate of much of Australia well, particularly the Barossa Valley. At Bruno & George, expect a full-bodied expression toned by consummate levels of extraction and high quality oak.
