SUCCESSFUL AND INTRIGUING GRENACHE - SHIRAZ BLEND
Dark in colour, with an almost black core and rim of ruby red. Pomegranate, cranberry and plum waft as the wine opens up. Those same pomegranate and damson plum characters continue on the palate and are enhanced by a slightly herbaceous edge. The Shiraz component gives width and generosity to the finer savoury Grenache tannins. This is the cornerstone of d’Arry’s portfolio and winemaking style.
