Riverina, Big Rivers, New South Wales, Australia
🇦🇺 here we go.
Red Ozzie with the expected young & lively label. A Shiraz & durif blend.
My weekend red had some petit syrah (=durif) in it so this is supposedly known territories.
14% abv
Blackish and dense red 👁️
Dried dark fruit with some mint and smoke and tree leaves on the background 👃
Medium acidity.
Full body with smooth silkness - the boldness Ozzie wine is known for.
Ripe Raspberry and cherry, coffee, vanilla and hints of tobbaco 👄
Light and pleasant dry 🎯 Tannins are there but are very soft.
A well made one.
Paired surprisingly well with Roma style pizza, one with artichoke and the second with spicy (supposedly) pepperoni. Adding some chipotle Tabasco or sriracha to the slice made the wine hotter but still nice.
Very good vfm (about 60 nis as part of half case of a world variety I got delivered)
Next up is a 100% durif. I'm curious.

Get what you pay for. Perfect match to a bbq and can't knock the simplicity of it.
