Grenache Shiraz 2023

Ray Jordan Review 

OAKOVER GRENACHE SHIRAZ 2023 
Oh my. This medium-bodied combination captures so much about the drinking qualities of these varieties in the Swan Valley. Seductive perfumes on the nose engage immediately. The palate is soft and supple with abundant red fruit over a deeper plumminess. Such an appealing red wine for immediate drinking.

WINEMAKING NOTES
Separate parcels were fermented for seven days before being pressed to stainless steel tanks early to retain freshness. The wine was then blended and matured on fine lees, prior to bottling in July 

TASTING NOTES 
Lifted bright red summer berries and blueberry aromas on the nose, expect a juicy and bright red fruit character of raspberry and strawberry that greet the palate before a spicy, harmonious finish that lingers. 

FOOD PAIRING 
Rosemary lamb chops served with roasted vegetables.
