Limited Edition
Grenache Tannat Shiraz (Australia / California)
- RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA / LODI, CALIFORNIA
- The Riverland region wraps around the Murray Darling river, basking in the hot South Australia sun. The Mediterranean climate and long sunny days make for vibrant fully ripened grapes. The winding river provides relief from the sometimes-intense heat, vital access to water for irrigation, and contributes to the region’s fertile soils.
- Lodi is located between the San Fransico Bay and the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the centre portion of California’s Central Valley. The Mediterranean climate here features warm days and cool evenings which allow grapes to fully ripen. The Mokelumne and Cosumnes rivers, originating in the mountains, feed the Lodi region with soils rich in granite based minerals, lending complex flavours to the grapes.
