Manser Red Blend Wines
Single varietals are great, no argument here. But there is something magical about a winemaker’s ability to blend two or more different varieties to create something very, very special, that in some cases can be greater than the sum of its parts. Whether it’s the iconic Aussie blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, or a GSM and its variants, or the latest trend towards blending more new world varieties, we love a nice red blend. These are the latest red blends to leave the Tasting Panel grinning goofily with wine dribbling down their chins...
- Manser 'One Mad Moment' McLaren Vale Shiraz Grenache 2022Special Price $30.00 Regular Price $35.00The Grenache (from 95 year old bush vines) was fermented on skins for 10 days after harvest with a small element of whole bunch. The shiraz is from Blewitt Springs and fermented on skins for 8 days then pressings were added back in. Both wines were then transferred to 8 and 9 year old barrels for the wines to develop without the intrusion of oak flavour.
This is a magnificent blend of robust, full bodied shiraz with spice and chocolate offset by the juicy red and blue fruits of old vine grenache. A wonderful wine to enjoy now but the structure suggests it has 10-15 years of improvement ahead of it. Learn More
