Blend of 59/23/18% grenache/mourvèdre/shiraz. Fermented in small, open fermenters, pressed to tank and then racked to seasoned French oak barrels. Bright crimson red. An attractive combination of red fruits, a little spice and some earthier, I imagine mourvèdre-derived notes. There's a little fresh tobacco and dried herbs here too. Medium bodied and gently juicy in the mouth, fine, persistent tannins round out a wine to enjoy now and over the next 4-5 years.

The inaugural release of a Mediterranean blend from a putative cooler climate. Things are changing! This is delicious, reminiscent of an easy drinking red from the Languedoc. Not easy, as in banal, but as in poised, crunchy, mid-weighted and herbal, with moreish tannins to curtail any fruit sweetness. Red-fruited and scrubby, with strewn lavender, thyme and a note of Australiana, strongly reminiscent of the garrigue. A skein of peppery freshness. I'd chill this and guzzle. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Medium ruby red with blood plum, smoked meat and rosemary aromatics. Light to medium in weight, with a lift of acidity highlighting raspberry and blueberry fruits. Good length and tannins fill towards the back where graphite and dried rosemary notes add interest.
