Description

"Garnacha & Amigos" is exactly what it sounds like: a bunch of mates getting together for a good time. Winemaker Mauricio Ruiz Cantu has built a reputation for crafting lo-fi, free-wheeling wines that don't take themselves too seriously, and this red blend is the perfect example.

The 2024 release is led by Grenache (58%), which acts as the "bass" in this funky tune, providing a foundation of crunchy red fruit and drinkability. The "Amigos" come in the form of Mencía (18%) for perfume, Nero d'Avola (16%) for texture and a splash of Syrah (8%) to tie it all together.

Sourced from sustainable vineyards across South Australia, this is a light, juicy red designed for maximum enjoyment. It is all bright, sloshy red fruits, soft tannins and a little edge of spice. It is the ultimate "park wine" that is best served with a light chill and poured generously.

Garnacha 58%, Mencia 18%, Nero d'Avola 16%, Syrah 8%

Region: Multiregional – All members of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.

Style: The idea here is to make a lighter, juicy, fun times red! The base is Grenache, a variety that brings crunchy red fruits, heaps of drinkability, but acts as the bass in this funky tune. After the Grenache, we blend in the Amigos which give complexity, aromatics, and structure. Every variety that goes in brings something different to the blend.

Somos

Mexican winemaker Mauricio Ruiz Cantu is creative mind behind this exciting McLaren Vale project, with the wines exported back to South & Central America as well as sold through just a handful of outlets and venues locally in Australia.

His focus is on 'alternative' varieties from sustainably managed vineyards - Mauricio's Aglianicos and Vermentinos being of particular note. The Somos unique wines are made with a deft touch, not fully natural but absolutely in the more lo-fi end of the winemaking pool.

The resulting wine styles are colourful, perfumed, balanced, and bursting with personality. And universally, they offer terrific value for money.

Just minuscule volumes produced, but great fun to be had across the Somos range.
