Old guard icons are not always known for tinkering with a winning formula. But the considered experimentation in the Marli Russell reds brings these Rhone-inspired beauties well beyond mere project wines.This is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault, and it shares the assured exquisite flavour and subtlety notable of all Mount Mary’s reds.From pretty rose florals to silky dark cherry, it’s a distinctive expression of Grenache showing both finesse and flair. It’s both enchanting and immediately accessible
95 points“55% grenache, 20% each of shiraz and mourvedre, 5% cinsaut, each vinified separately. Hand-picked, bunch-sorted on vibrating tables, open-fermented, 10-14 days on skins, matured in large format French oak (1575-2500l). Tangy, zesty, supple red and black fruits, slinky tannins just so.”– James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)
