Loads of kind of ripe Pear and orchard fruit a little bit of Spiciness And wonderfully fresh acidity too 13.5 Alcohol so not heavy but textural Because of that Wild yeast and barrel fermentation And a lovely wine it’s on sale for 16 Pounds of bottle Through the other father’s website the Address of that is on screen now but I’ll also put it At the end of the video now it’s partner Is the uh red grenache and shiraz blend And this wine is the second time i’ve Reviewed it spring follows Winter this is the 2019 vintage For sale at 14 pounds from the same Website And in this case giles is sourcing the Fruit from the barrosa valley Mostly the shiraz i believe i think it’s Pretty much all old vine Material and it’s a lovely wine it’s a Buoyant expression Filled crammed with a kind of raspberry Ruffle fruitiness Are just really lovely but they’re on The palate It adds like a chocolatey density to it Partly through Very smooth tannins very nicely balanced Acidity A black currant juiciness in there too
But it continues with that lovely kind Of fragrant raspberry character too Making it Deliciously sippable a real beauty for Um for a barbecue maybe not the right Time of year but terrific with Casseroles and winter stews too Um a fruit filled but quite serious Quite textural wine again and a lovely Partner to the white So we have the spring follows Winter red which is 14 pounds of bottle And we have the just like kevin white At 16 pounds of bottle both available From the our father’s website Both donating all of the profits to Charities My wines of the week [Music] You
