Description

David Powell believes that Grenache makes a superb base for a wine, and here they’ve crafted a wine ready for drinking immediately, but with a very serious side to it. Cherry, spice and a slick and rich – serious, but showing drinkability in youth. 

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Riverside Grenache Shiraz Mataro offers notes of black raspberries, kirsch and mulberries with an earthy undercurrent and a waft of baking spices. The palate is soft, richly fruited and delivers plenty of pure, uncomplicated flavors with great harmony. Drink 2017–2025.

Syrah/Shiraz

Syrah/Shiraz

A noble black grape variety grown particularly in the Northern Rhône where it produces the great red wines of Hermitage, Cote Rôtie and Cornas, and in Australia where it produces wines of startling depth and intensity. Reasonably low yields are a crucial factor for quality as is picking at optimum ripeness. Its heartland, Hermitage and Côte Rôtie, consists of 270 hectares of steeply terraced vineyards producing wines that brim with pepper, spices, tar and black treacle when young. After 5-10 years they become smooth and velvety with pronounced fruit characteristics of damsons, raspberries, blackcurrants and loganberries.

It is now grown extensively in the Southern Rhône where it is blended with Grenache and Mourvèdre to produce the great red wines of Châteauneuf du Pape and Gigondas amongst others. Its spiritual home in Australia is the Barossa Valley, where there are plantings dating as far back as 1860. Australian Shiraz tends to be sweeter than its Northern Rhône counterpart and the best examples are redolent of new leather, dark chocolate, liquorice, and prunes and display a blackcurrant lusciousness.

South African producers such as Eben Sadie are now producing world- class Shiraz wines that represent astonishing value for money.
