Winemaker's Notes
|
Nose: layers of fruit and spice interwoven with cedary oak characters
Palate: Sweet berry fruit, great length with a fine tannin structure. This mouthfilling wine leaves a lingering flavour to be enjoyed. |

| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Full-bodied dry red wine; medium dark ruby red. Aromas show the classic peppermint patty mintiness of many Australian reds--perhaps thanks to the presence of the nearly ubiquitous sweet gum tree--then luscious, sweet dark berry fruit. Alcohol is 14.5, but doesn't show much heat, just a tiny bit at the very end of the finish. Grapes: Grenache, 50%; Shiraz 40%; Mourvèdre, 10%. So, a GSM. Founded in 1996, Koltz is a small, artisan producer specializing in Shiraz and Shiraz blends from McLaren Vale. Wines are hand crafted, fermented in open vats then, when dry, basket pressed and put into barrel. Serve moderately cool, about 60ºF (15ºC).
Suggested Food Pairings:
Smoked liverwurst pâté; smoked pork ribs (no sweet barbecue sauces, though, or any other sweet finishes); grilled center-cut pork chop with red pepper relish; grilled lamb, grilled steak or lamb, Roaring '40s blue (from Australia; at Whole Foods); fairly dark chocolate.
