Description
A smooth, well-balanced red blend of 35% Shiraz, 33% Merlot, and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Vernissage is matured for 18 months in 3rd fill French oak, which adds subtle complexity. The deep ruby colour opens up to a nose of ripe black cherry, mulberry, and prune, with hints of cigar box, cloves, and graphite. On the palate, this wine is soft and silky, with ripe tannins and vibrant flavours of fresh raspberries, tobacco, and a touch of herbaceous notes. The finish is long and smooth, with balanced acidity and a refined elegance.
Food Pairing: Ideal with slow-cooked lamb stew, pasta dishes, pizza, or charcuterie. Also pairs well with hard cheeses and grilled vegetables.
