Description

Dan Graham's wines are non-conformist. Take his interesting twist on a GSM, convention making way for creativity.

The Sigurd Red Blend is a vibrant and unconventional expression of the Barossa Valley. Named after his Dan's great-grandfather, this wine embodies both tradition and innovation, with a nod to his Nordic heritage. The blend brings together Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvedre, Lagrein, and a touch of Cinsault, each variety contributing to a wine that’s both bold and playful.

The fruit is sourced from old and young vines across Ebenezer and Vine Vale, with each component fermented separately and aged in a mix of old French oak barrels and large foudres for 14 months.

This medium-bodied red opens with deep, savoury aromas of wild forest berries and exotic spices. The palate is juicy and dynamic, offering layers of dark plum and just-ripe raspberry, balanced by a hint of forest floor. A fresh, crunchy acidity ties it all together, making this wine as intriguing as it is approachable. 

It's vibrant, plush, full-flavoured, dark and meaty - the whole Barossa package, modern and traditional.

    Well rounded / smooth Shiraz-based blend

    Had this originally at Beau in Surry Hills, Sydney which had a great wine list. Was happy to find it here alongside some others on the menu to recreate the experience at home.

    A nice wine, not as nice as their white

The Red Blend epitomises the diversity of varietals across the Barossa and our portfolio, deep and savoury on the nose with a wide fruit spectrum of wild forest berries and exotic spices. Juicy, fun but with a serious side, the dark wild plum on the palate, and just a hint of forest undergrowth to intrigue. On the palate the crunchy acid helps to bring together to wild berry and spice mix and soft tannin profile. 2022 was a great year showing power and finesse.
