Description
The Introspect Field Blend is an unusual blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, Ugni Blanc, Roussanne and Carignan, from a now-certified organic vineyard above the winery in the Clare Valley.
The vines (originally Cabernet) were planted back in 1976, then in 2015 Col and Jen grafted them over to this mad selection of red and white Rhone varieties. They picked the lot together, fermented them together and bottled the result after a nice sleep in old oak.
It's a light but savoury red wine, with delicious bright red fruit, a hint of mint, and soft graphitey tannins. A strange yet lovely offering from this star Clare Valley producer.
94 Points
"Strawberry, cherry, white flowers, mint, orange peel, aniseed, dried herbs, apricot. It’s a riot of perfume and red fruits, it has a sappy sort of white wine acidity, but plenty of red fruits too, dusty and peppery tannin, juicy and succulent at once, a little bit of honey in the mix, bright acidity, and while it has a slightly confusing white wine vs red wine character, the overall effect is so charming and engaging. Frisky. Individual. Really good, in short."

On trend as both a field blend and LSR (lighter (to medium) style red). Subtle mix of red and dark fruits, with savoury and dried herb touches. Palate builds interest, enticing food friendly texture with Clare acid and tannin playing off each other. Those savoury textures made me think of standard Nebbiolo branded as Langhe (not as grand as Barolo but pretty good value).
