Heathcote Tempranillo/Grenache/Mourvedre 2008 $20

Plum red in colour, this ‘TGM’ is a fruit driven red wine made for drinking over the next few years with full flavoured Mediterranean foods and exuberant company.  Brimming with dark forest berry fruits and a touch of spice and earth, it is a wine that is dangerously easy to drink.

This wine is inspired by the young gluggable wines from the Rioja region in north-eastern Spain. It is a blend of Tempranillo (lifted red berry spiciness), Grenache (juicy raspberry), and Mourvedre (brooding dusty dark berries).  It is a spicy, delicious wine that is designed for drinking over the next few years with full flavoured Mediterranean foods and exuberant company.

The nose is redolent of forest berries, particularly raspberry and blueberry, dusted with warming spice.  The palate is brimming with soft juicy blueberries, spice and lemon pip, with just a touch of gamey charcuiterie.  The finish is clean and satisfying, leaving you wanting more. A well balanced wine that is great to drink on its own, but really show its best when accompanied by suitably boisterous eating.
