Description

The White Wolf of Cumbria Red is a Jared Dixon's all-purpose red blend built from Merlot, Shiraz and Tannat.

The three varieties were harvested across three different seasons. The Shiraz and Merlot were picked in 2018 and 2019 and blended with the small Tanat portion from 2017. It fits right in the modern, juicy red wine category. Jam packed with sweet blue fruit and spice - it's hard to see anyone not liking this.

With the smooth and supple drinkability of medium-bodied Merlot taking centre stage, this is a creatively conceived crowd pleaser for all occasions.

91 Points - "This is made of 2017, 2018 and 2019 vintage fruit and is a JAN21 release. Made to be a fresh yet complex red. And it does the trick. It's definitively crunchy in texture, all crackle of sour-sweet acidity, pomegranate juice to the max, light herbal notes, some light, savoury-nuttiness in the mix. Rockets across the palate, lively and bright, a thirst quenching red for skolling in the sun dragged straight from an Esky. What ho!" - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Daring dance in a glass

    The merlot seems to weave in and out of this mix of grapes - providing a fascinating mix of fruit, herbs and mid palate enjoyment. If love to return to this wine, first glass in, as opposed to third bottle into a long dinner.

    Delicious

    Light easy drinking Red. Absolutely delicious!

An inspired, NV blend of Merlot, Shiraz & Tannat. Handpicked early at 8 baumé, destemmed and wild fermented in stainless steel; the Shiraz & Merlot components from regional NSW in 2018 & 2019 make for a vibrant core displaying purity & an elegant perfume.

The remainder of the wine is made up of approximately 18% Tannat from New England in 2017, which was fermented on skins for 10 months and remained on lees in neutral oak for 18 months, unsulphured, adding depth & structure to the final assemblage. Blended towards the end of 2020, the resulting wine was bottled unfined & unfiltered.
