Grenache, Mataro, Merlot, Malbec, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot, Shiraz
Sourced from the Mokhinui vineyard in the Hilltops region of NSW, the vineyard has a lot of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon planted and an awesome block in the middle that is a combination of pretty much every variety that blends well with Shiraz and Cab. Here I buy Grenache, Mataro, Merlot, Malbec, Tempranillo and Petit verdot.
Following on from the 2013 Field Blend, I was looking to make a fun wine to match with pizza and BBQ’s – a summer red style to share with mates.
The addition of Petit Verdot has really popped the mid-palate with crunchy bright fruits coming to the fore. The Shiraz and Tempranillo combine to anchor the palate and give it a depth of flavor.
A fun blend, easy drinking style.
Price: $28 Per Bottle
