Murdoch Hill Red Blend 2021

Deep and intriguing wine with a rich and layered profile, featuring a seamless symmetry of sweet and savory notes, supported by a polished and plush texture.

Fabulous merit for money red wine, I highly recommend it.

Rich, full-bodied red blend (Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 30%, Shiraz 10%) from the Adelaide Hills region, boasting a 15-year-old vineyard with a cool climate and 380m ASL elevation. The vineyard is situated near the Oakbank township, where the cool climate and well-drained soils contribute to the wine's complexity. The grapes were whole-bunch de-stemmed and extended maceration on skins for 2-4 weeks, followed by 10 months of aging in older French barriques. The result is a smooth and delicate wine with a deep, supple texture, featuring hints of raspberry, plum, soft pipe tobacco, black currant, black tea, and soft licorice, with a pleasing cocoa powder finish. A well-balanced and delightful wine, fitting for sipping on its own or pairing with a variety of dishes.
