Wendouree
Shiraz Mataro
Clare Valley, Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia, Australia
Dark crimson in colour - impenetrable. Aromas of liquorice, blackberry mint and plum which carry through to the full bodied palate. Fluid tannins verging on silky. I’ve had many bottles of Wendouree over the years and not all of them have been awesome. When I was left off the mailing list I had been on for ages, in favour of my brother who had been years on the waiting list (I think it was a mistake) I didn’t mind but this was delicious and special - the product of very old vines from both grapes. This wine shows the rich ripeness of the 2008 vintage throughout South Australia. An exceptional dry red.
