Three varieties with an affinity to our McLaren Vale region. Old Bush Vine Grenache provides aromatic lift and bright red fruit characters. Shiraz lends chewy tannin, spice and mid-palate weight, while Mourvèdre rounds out the blend and contributes balance and structure. This wine is a fun and challenging puzzle to assemble each vintage and will age gracefully up to a decade after release. – Alan Varney, Winemaker
