Yalumba 2005 Hand-Picked Mourvedre Grenache Shiraz - Rhone Blends Red Wine

Red Wine by Yalumba from Barossa Valley, Australia. Yalumba Hand Picked Mourvedre Grenache Shiraz 2005 is deep, dark, purple ruby red in colour. A very attractive and aromatic nose offers sweet black cherry with rustic forest floor aromas, dried herbs and spices. The palate displays stylish flavours with complex fruits and spice. Quite savoury with funky complexities, finishing with fine, soft, balanced tannins. The Barossa Valley has a long history as one of Australia's premium wine regions for growing Mourvedre, Grenache and Shiraz. These Southern France varietals offer a provenance of synergy with each component making a contribution to the complexity of the wine. Mourvedre, more commonly known in Australia as Mataro, is the dominant variety in this Hand Picked blend. It provides sturdy and robust characters, balanced by the perfume of Grenache and the spice of Shiraz. Firm yet silky, with power and length on the palate, a complex wine with supreme elegance.
