2022 House of Bricks Grenache Shiraz Viognier
2022
Description
This is a fascinating wine.
Typically, when someone does a blend that starts with Grenache shiraz it ends with mataro (also known as mouvedre). Grenache can be a bit light as a stand alone wine, so shiraz is used to bolster it and the tannic mataro provides structure and support.
Our Grenache vineyard, however, isn’t a shy flower. It’s a powerhouse planted back in 1897. The training and pruning of the vines has resulted in a much smaller Grenache grape with intensity of both flavour and colour, such that we don’t need mataro to bolster it up, we need viognier to tame it down.
This is a perfect wine to accompany a game dish such as duck or venison.
