Shiraz 35%, Tempranillo 35%, Pinot Noir 30% matured for 6 months in old French oak barriques

A radiant crimson purple glow sets the scene for an explosion of bright fruit focused aromatics. Ripe raspberry, blueberry, and inky black currant fuse into an exotic amalgam of nighttime on La Rambla in Barcelona. Hints of rosewood, wild woody herbs, pink peppercorns and dark rose petals completing the heady lift of perfume. The juxtaposition of acidity and tannin provides an instant tension of flavour and texture. Ripe pippy blackberry and tangy red plum slide across the palate with a shimmering acid line giving a resonant persistence. While this wine will easily sit along side generously flavoured food, it would happily go with ambiance alone.

Winemaker Notes
The evolution of this this wine continues while the driving inspiration remains. The addition of Shiraz to the Tempranillo and Pinot Noir making a Mélange à Trois of bright fruit ensuring approachability on an almost intoxicating level. Six months in old barrels giving the wine just enough time to relax into is Iberian like form. Once again, the target of enjoyment, needing no excuse, but slightly chilled on Christmas day would be a good fit.
