Terrene Estates Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro Grenache M.V.
Original price was: $12.60.$9.00Current price is: $9.00.Just delicious and why weren’t wines of this type a regular part of our drinking decades ago. Why were they not made?

Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023
$14.80Shiraz forms the stable known base. Grenache has alcoholic strength but less palate taste and brings to the blend beguiling aromas and a different palate impression to Shiraz. Yet what are these two without Mataro which maintains order by rearranging both and providing a strength of character particularly on the back palate. Still the genius of this wine remains the Grenache.

The Green Patch Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$13.80To describe the setting for this Cabernet we must return to the debate of the role of climate-weather in the development of wine flavours and from this whether cool climate wines are better than warm climate wines.
