Wine Family: The Socialites
Tasting Notes:
As always, this wine is a psychedelic purple colour. Red currant, sugar coated peanuts, minty, and menthol notes. Such a retro wine. A generous, fat mulberry and boysenberry character on the palatte. Lifted and vibrant, with some sweet and some sour notes. A beautiful spritz makes this a great celebration wine. Drink me and enjoy me!
Behind the Name:
Surrounded by peppermint gums, the block was replanted in 1989 to Chambourcin from Shiraz which never grew well on that particular site. When the fruit is picked fully ripe it retains high levels of acidity, an abundance of colour, flavour and tannin - perfect for a sparkling red wine.
