2020 Gold Medal
Muratie Wine Farm
VARIETAL:
Red Blends dominated by Shiraz (>30% Shiraz) (27) Barrel fermented/barrel matured/wooded (staves, chips or wood rice) 2019 and older
VINTAGE:
2016
MORE INFORMATION:
The grapes are hand harvested and made in a combination of stainless steel tanks and open fermenters and is elegantly oaked (16 months in second and third fill French oak barrels).
Where most of the wines in the portfolio are special occasion wines, this medium-bodied blend is intended for everyday enjoyment. However, it too is sourced entirely from the estate, and while unpretentious it is well-crafted with its soft tannins, bright red berries and hints of warm spice and chocolate from careful oaking.
From Burgers, Pizza and Spaghetti Bolognese, all the way to hearty beef stews.
