Grenache Mourvedre Shiraz Wines

The 'Twins' refers to the two certified organic vineyards the fruit comes from. One is in the warmer Barossa Valley, the other in the cooler Eden Valley, so they are by no means identical. It's a triple blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre, a c...

The Butchers block refers to a vineyard on the property where Ernst Schultz used to run a thriving butchery business on the side and probably used to make the bush turkeys a little nervous. Thankfully for us growing grapes and making wine became t...

The people at Pikes must like a marine life, not content with naming their main wine after the Pike here’s their second label called the Red Mullet. It’s a refreshing take on the red blend from the Clare Valley and it’s the kind of comforting red ...

Juicy and fleshy is the theme with this full-bodied, gladiator wine. Aromas of ripe raspberries, pepper spice and hints of toastiness tempt the senses, whilst the palate is plush and lush with deep, plummy flavours, fine tannins, and a juicy, spic...

This value offering from Cannonbah is a soft and fruity wine that smells and tastes of spiced plums and raspberries. The mellow tannins, gentle acidity and plum pudding finish makes it highly quaffable and very easy to drink. It just needs a juicy...

The team behind Sons of Eden are serious stars in the making and if they aren’t one of the hottest Barossa names in a decades’ time then I will eat my hat. But seriously, young guns with serious intent is what we love here at Cracka and these gu...

Miss Harry is a seductive blend from the winemaking genius that is Dean Hewitson. In another nod to his family he named this wine after his daughter Harriet. It’s a blend we love, as it captures the more subtle side of the Barossa with Grenache, ...

It's a big boy this SGM from Kaesler! There's plenty of alcohol, but it is surprisingly balanced. Aromas of dark choc-coated berries fill the nose, together with whiffs of softly spiced plums. The palate is full and lush with a sweetly-fruited cen...

As the weather gets cooler it’s the reds in your cellar that tend to get a workout and what could be more comforting on a cool winter’s night than a Barossa blend that’s as familiar as a loved one’s kiss? Okay, we may be stretching that a bit far ...

Vibrant deep cherry red with purple edges are the highlights of the wine’s colour. Initial excitement for this wine comes from the lifted spice nose, enhanced by sweet fruit aromas of dark berries – strawberries, raspberries and cherry. Then f...

The Henschke reds are a highlight of our tasting year and we pounced on the chance to secure this Johanns Garden and share the love with you. It’s a canny blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Shiraz from a combination of Barossa and Eden Valley vineya...

The Penfolds Tawnies are made in Solera Systems (stacked blending systems) at Penfolds’ Kalimna Tawny Cellars. These wines are all aged in 300-litre hogsheads (oak barrels) that are at least twenty years old when they reach the Tawny Cellars, havi...

The Taylors winemakers (like cows) have been restless. And when winemakers are restless they do one thing - make interesting wines. In this case it's a Clare Valley GSM, a red blend that couples together Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre in a French ...

The classic Barossan blend this, coupling (arguably) the three most well suited red grapes to the Barossa together in a classic love match. Schild do the blend rather well too, making for a quite approachable, jubey style with less oak and more re...

One of the best things the Barossa has ever done is given Australia the most memorable blends of Grenache Shiraz and Mourvedre. B3 could relate to the number of varieties in this red or it could be a reference to the three brothers behind the labe...

Very meaty, animal and barbecue-scented bouquet of great complexity and a certain 'wildness', but not faulty nor unpleasant. Very soft, rich and fleshy on the tongue, with mellow, gentle tannins and lovely drinkability. A great vintage, at its pea...

I'll be in all kinds of trouble with the Kalleske boys for saying that their bargain Clarry's is one of my favourite reds from their cellar, but they might forgive me if I add that the new vintage is one of the best value GSMs out there.

Ripe open knit red cherry fruit with some lifted spice and roasted meat characters. Dry, moderate acid, dark fruit that is a little jammy with a herbal edge and chalky tannins. Finishes with good length and concentration - drink now to 2016. Shira...
