Featured Wine - 2006 Valletta Grenache Shiraz |
|
 This wine is a Grenache & Shiraz blend that has been in barrel for 3 years. Time has been kind to this wine infusion. Well the musk lolly smell is here and I cannot remember smelling this quite the same before so it is such a surprise. An aniseed infusion into the dark fruits here with a vanilla hit on the back of the nose. The palate shows darker fruits than I expected from a Grenache based wine but this is not what draws you to the wine – the strength but elegance is absolutely intriguing and so is the fennel based finish to such a blend. I was concerned with the 3 years in oak, but I should not have as it is just part of the wine.

Featured Winery - Graham Stevens Wines |
|
In the new cellar door it was obvious that friends and family was the key ingredient (after the wine of course). Graham even came into the tasting area and came over and shook my hand to welcome me. The atmosphere was great – it is good to see some old fashion personal hospitality and I suggest this theme will continue.
