PARACOMBE WINES 2022 MOUNT LOFTY RANGES MONTEPULCIANO ($32 /
Adelaide Hills, SA)
This week I am talking about one of the Italian native red varieties. I have not always been a big fan of Italian reds as most varieties, when young are too tannic for my liking. Australian wines made from these emerging varieties, in general, tend to be a bit less tannic and a bit richer in their youth but, I suspect, do not live as long as the venerable Italian wines made from the same variety.
Having said that, I am a huge fan of this week’s outstanding wine. The wine I am talking about is the superb Paracombe Wines 2022 Mount Lofty Ranges Adelaide Hills Montepulciano. This #veganfriendly wine is deep, inky purple in colour, has lifted aromas of blackberries with a good dollop of spice, dried herbs and a hint of earthiness. The palate is drop dead gorgeous with lashings of deep rich flavours perfectly balanced out with just the right amount of grippiness on the long lingering finish. This is a truly spectacular wine!!!
You can check this beauty and the rest of the exciting Paracombe Wines range, including their brilliant Gruner Veltliner on www.paracombewines.com.au
Well until next time, have a great week, always #ChooseAustralianWine and when possible enjoy #emergingvarieties.
