Shiraz Grenache 2020 – Black Market Deal #43029
- Textured, savoury
- McLaren Vale
We’re not going to say who said it, but some reviewers have called this ‘exceptional’. The same can be said for the fantastic team at our fave winery, and while we could wax lyrical about them - you know we can’t reveal. We can discuss how slippery and delightful this wine is and how many glasses we could sink on any given weeknight. Blueberries mingling with herbs and perhaps some charcuterie in there too. There are tannins; although you’ll be so busy noticing the pristinely balanced palate, you’ll barely see them hang around, but tannins there are. Us Aussies might champion the shiraz cab blend, but shiraz grenache is what the real story is all about.

Region
McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is a region that lives in the shadow of the hype of the Barossa. While it has played on Shiraz as its drawcard, and continues to battle (quite rightly) with the supreme power of the Barossa, perhaps the most exciting wines from this region are its old vine Grenache and Mataro (Mourvedre/Monastrell - whatever you want to call it), and its more recent foray into Spanish and Italian varietals. Both the sun's warmth and the reliable salty afternoon gully breeze make the climate closer to Mediterranean than many other Aussie regions, and some of the Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo and Sangiovese from here are sublime (to name only a few). Awareness, proper consideration and sense of place are key attributes to the region's success, and its recent win against urbanisation reinforces the value of the viticultural region.
