Ben says
★ Good Wine “Ruby going on garnet. Alluringly umami on the nose with shittake mushrooms over sweet balsamic and berries. Slight sandpaper tannins and a syrup-like texture open out into a fruity and soft red wine. The Touriga adds a good plug of ripe fruit.“
KEY POINTS
Shiraz (53%), Grenache (38%) and Touriga Nacional (9%) with 14.0% abv. Varieties are crushed and fermented separately.
Grown in: Barossa Valley, AUSTRALIA.
Food Pairing
I would drink this red happily with blue cheese like Stilton and sticky fig chutney.
