Description

A new direction for Tim Shand and the Punt Road team with a bouncy, fresh early drinking red from varieties you don't readily associate with the Yarra - Grenache, Gamay and Cabernet Franc.

Crackling red fruits, bountiful perfumed aromatics and enough of a tannic grip to elevate this to DrinkCon 3. For drinking in the garden of course.

All whole-bunch fermented to add a bit of lift, structure and herbal spice, and very low sulphur additions.

91 Points - "I think it’s made with Cab Franc, Gamay, Grenache and Malbec but the general description is: ‘a little from here, a little from there’. Which is kind of like the winemaking equivalent of Mr In-Between’s ‘ah a bit of this and a bit of that’.

Gary Walsh described last year’s release as ‘frisky!’ and it’s entirely apt descriptor again here. This red wine has some energy. I guess you’d call it red cherried but there are blueberry, bubble gum, musk and fragrant garden herb notes at play too. It’s fun, it’s light-ish, it’s well-made and it’s just the ticket for casual drinking." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

    Juicy, interesting red blend

    A very juicy and interesting red blend, super delicious and works week with a slight chill on it.
