WINE NOTES
Grenache & Mourvedre sourced from the famous Claire Valley in South Australia were artfully blended with Shiraz from the “Gentle Annie” vineyard in Cenral Victoria in this classic “Rhone Style” red blend. Matured in French oak, this wine shows deep concentration evident from the 2007 drought conditions.
