DUTSCHKE YELLAND & PAPPS ST HALLETT PAISLEY WINES
80 BLOCK SECOND TAKE GARDEN OF EDEN TURNTABLE
ST JAKOBI GRENACHE 2017 SHIRAZ 2016 BAROSSA VALLEY
VINEYARD GRENACHE SHIRAZ
MERLOT 2015 MATARO 2017
Dutschke crafts a
wonderful take on Merlot:
fragrant, spicy and packed
with red fruits. The great
2015 vintage has given
birth to a strong rendition:
bright, detailed, finely
structured and impeccably
tuned for a long life
in the cellar. A delightfully modern
take on 115 year old
Barossa Grenache vines,
in a refreshing, fragrant,
tangy morello cherry and
wild strawberry guise.
A considerable 64%
whole bunch is well
moderated, infusing
lift, herbal complexity
and fine-tuned tannins
without overwhelming
elegantly played fruit. The spice and fragrance
of the Eden Valley
shine in a fine-boned
structured, medium-
bodied style of crunchy
red and black berry fruits
and elegant persistence.
A finely crafted
lunchtime style and
just the thing to pour
as an on-premise
exclusive. Derek Fitzgerald says
he is about the big 'G'
and the little 'S' - and
his new vintage blend is
proof. It exemplifies the
personality of Grenache
in a bright and crunchy
style. Refreshing acidity
works in harmony with
finely textured tannins
in this well-crafted,
great value and
a friendly quaffer.
