Let’s call it almost an equal split of grenache, syrah and mourvedre. It is no surprise that these varieties work well together: their synergic relationship is, in fact, particularly evident in this wine.
There is an immediate red berry perfume, not quite stewed, but almost as if berries left hanging on the bush were warmed up on a hot sunny day. In second row, there is a layer of black plum and bazar spices. The palate is supple and loaded with juicy berries and plum, but then the mourvedre comes into play with its game and bitter herb flavours to put a break on the fruitiness.
Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Andrea came to Australia in 2013 after graduating with an environmental science degree. While working as a waiter in between jobs, Andrea found he enjoyed hospitality much more than his previous career during a stint working at MoVida Sydney. After a short apprenticeship at 121 BC, Sydney’s ground-breaking gem for Lo-Fi Italian wines, and a few months with the Lotus Group, Andrea moved to Melbourne and reunited with Movida. He’s been curating the highly regarded Wine List at Movida Melbourne, including one of the country's finest Spanish selections, for the past 3 years while studying for the WSET diploma.
