Vanguardist 'V' Blewitt Springs McLaren Vale Mourvèdre 2022

Red Wine from Australia - South Australia
0 star rating 0 Reviews
Just 2,800 bottles were produced of this wine, which winemaker Michael J. Corbett declared as his 'wine of the year' in the 2022 release; high praise from a man who is his own harshest critic. This is a wine which is considered by some to be the greatest varietal mourvedre in Australia and upon tasting it is evident why. The nose is inviting, with incredible density of fruit aromatics, while still being light, bright and defined. Aromas of red fruits, plums and rose petal draw you into the glass and lead to a palate with a coating but fresh mouthfeel. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity hold together a core of purple fruit and an elegant hint of tangy bramble. Graphite makes an appearance towards the finish, contributing to the notable feeling of purity and the long and layered flavour profile. A wine which filled me with excitement when I tasted it and which provides a keen taster with plenty to pick-apart but, crucially, wonderful drinkability too. There will be none of this wine available from the 2023 vintage due to a short crop. Drink from 2025 to 2034. 14.1%
