Very deep, rich red-purple hue; very savoury earth and dried-herb bouquet, less reminiscent of grenache than the other varieties, the palate full-bodied and rich, fleshy and supple, the fruit-sweetness moderate and suffused with savoury tannins in lovely harmony. This is a cracker and right up to its reputation. Very enjoyable already.

This has a complex nose, with raspberries and blackberries, as well as savory, tarry elements. Fruit-focused. The palate has a dark-berry fruit core with nicely balanced and approachable style. A regional expression of Barossa.

Meduim-deep crimson. Very attractive musky plum, blackberry, blueberry aromas with hints of roasted walnut. Supple sweet-fruited palate with ample red and dark plums, cranberry, mulberry, red cherry fruits, some savoury/roasted walnut complexity, fine loose-knit chalky textures, very good mid-palate viscosity and fresh integrated and persistent crisp acidity. Lovely fruit-driven finish with aniseed notes. Not for the long haul but a delicious gluggable drink. Andrew Caillard MW

The 2020 Bin 138 Shiraz-Grenache-Mataro is aromatically spicy and exciting, with peppered raspberry, star anise, strawberry and humbug through the finish. It's a really lovely, supple, delicious wine. There is polish and shape here. Early-ish drinking recommended to capture the vivacity and life of the fruit.

A blend of 65% shiraz, 29% grenache and 6% mataro that comes together in a fairly solid Barossa style, exotic fruits and smoked meaty savouries entwined. There’s an inherent earthiness as well, that anchors a heady bouquet, while a core of sweet Barossa fruit shines mid-palate before a coating of assertive tannins makes its presence felt. Quite a robust expression of this blend.
