Murray Street Artisan Grenache Mataro Shiraz 2022

A blend of 76% Grenache (an increase on the last vintage), 17% Mataro and 7% Shiraz, the Grenache was planted as far back 1948. A percentage of each variety included whole bunches or whole berries (the Shiraz) and maturation was in a combination of a conical concrete tank and oak of varying formats. A garnet/red, the nose offers notes of red fruits, florals, spices, plums and raspberries, with an appealing earthiness. The wine is of medium length with a fine line of acidity and sleek tannins. This attractively flavoured wine of medium weight will drink well over the next five to six years, longer if you like. A good example of the blend.
