Nikola Estate The Modernist 2021

From the outset this is a wine to get your teeth into. It’s a blend of tempranillo, shiraz and grenache sourced from Frankland River, Geographe and the Perth Hills. The floral raspberry plum notes on the nose bring so many of the individual varietal characteristics into the mix. Then there is a dry dusty dried herb character that introduces a further layer of interest. It’s bright and lively with a subtle tannin and fine acid lift. Structured with supple juicy fruit finishing dry and slightly savoury.
