    Paralian Grenache Shiraz 2018

    Paralian Grenache Shiraz 2018

    $36.99
    $36.99

    A Grenache Shiraz blend comprising 52% Marmont Vineyard Grenache, 48% Springs Hill Vineyard Shiraz. A blend that is quintessentially McLaren Vale, an homage to past employers who have proudly championed blends of Grenache and Shiraz for decades. Both varieties were made separately and come blending for this wine we were looking for a wine that offered generosity, freshness of the varieties but also a drive of subtle tannin; a natural life line of preservation. Generous darker fruit profile, satsuma plum flesh, baking spices and blue fruits. A taught fine palate, Grenache leads off with silken texture and the Shiraz component closing with a richness of fruit weight offering generosity and comfort.

    Region

    In just 30 minutes drive from Adelaide CBD you will find yourself in the heart of McLaren Vales vineyards. It has a rich, vinous history that harks back to the mid-1800s and its Mediterranean climate and diversity of soil types are perfect for an enviable array of grape varieties. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are well suited, as are the many white and red Italian varieties that ‘end with o’ but the star of the show is undisputedly Grenache and Australia’s finest examples come from the old bush-vines that dot the sandy, rolling hills of ‘The Vale’. Producers such as Yangarra, S.C. Panell, Toby Bekkers, Aphelion and Willunga 100 produce excellent examples and a few producers such as Jauma and Ochota Barrels swoop down from the Adelaide Hills to take advantage of the regions incredible Grenache resources. Local Knowledge: A visit to the mind-boggling Cube at d’Arenberg and a beer at the Victory Hotel and you’ll be in a happy place. Willunga Farmers Markets is a beauty too.

    Tightly packed, reticent, almost what you might call ‘sullen’ at present. Black and red fruits, liquorice, dried herb and smoky notes. It’s medium-bodied, dark fresh berries and dried herb with a toasty flavour, crisp acidity, firm dense tannin, and slightly charry finish of freshness and length. Will be very good given a few years grace.
