We made it! As we turn our back on Winter, we greet Spring with two air kisses on each cheek. September brings backyard catch-ups, impromptu cheese boards, and slow Sunday roasts. But we’ve been around the sun enough times to know Winter can still have a sting in its tail.
The grape to get us through all that? Shiraz.
This month’s mix heroes the plush varietal in the hands of two masters. First up, Saltram’s Mamre Brook is loaded with Barossa character, layered with generous flavour and supple texture. It’s ideal for those “Let’s light the fire” evenings when the air still nips. Then there’s Wolf Blass’s Mclaren Vale Grey Label. This Gold-Medal-winning back vintage is squarely in its peak drinking window, a luscious red to mark the moments we all crawl out of hibernation and step into Spring.
This monthly mix contains:
6x Saltram Mamre Brook Barossa Shiraz 2023
6x Wolf Blass Grey Label McLaren Vale Shiraz 2018
