Made from grapes (Grenache 60% and Shiraz 40%)cultivated in a certified organic and selected Biodynamic vineyard, this is Angove’s very Australian contribution to the increasing popular market of blended red wines. It’s lip-smackingly good, churning with those appetite inducing licorice/anise flavors characteristic of Shiraz plus the bright berry pie nuances of Grenache. Muscular and energetic, this is nevertheless exceedingly refined (picture Cary Grant in the weight room at the gym and you’ll get the idea).
