Purple Hands Barossa Valley Montepulciano 2024

Share

I’m a huge fan of Aussie Montepulciano and always look forward to trying another one. The Purple Hands is complex and moreish, with an incredibly fruit-driven nose and palate displaying loads of mulberry, boysenberry, strawberry, red cherry, pepper, bramble and cedar. The palate is vivacious and with a touch of saltiness, alongside medium+ acid and medium body and drying tannins. Juicy and delicious.
