They call this the Frugal Farmer because it's made from saved must from; Grenache, Mataro and Alicante Bouschet. The nose has; Blackberries, blueberries, very light spice and strong roses. The palate is. black cherries, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, pomegranate, dry medium tannins, gritty minerality, light dark moist earthiness, dry stone, high acid and finishes with rich, ripe fruits. The Barossians would enjoy their pizza and pasta with this wine.

A lively quaffer - not the best of the style that I have had from Oz, but still a pretty good wine, with oodles of fruit
