Schwarz Meta Grenache 2022

Special Price $35.00 Regular Price

Bright, airy, crunchy and fragrant. A hands-off approach has been taken in the making of this wine, with 80 whole bunch ferment bottled unfined, unfiltered and unashamedly slurpable. There are dark plums, red cherries, raspberry, liquorice, herbs, florals and dried citrus all happening here. Lovely

Biodynamic

Jason Schwarz has wine in his DNA; a fifth generation Barossan, he was raised on his parents' vineyard and studied wine marketing before discovering winemaking was his calling. He completed vintages in Bordeaux, Burgundy, The Rhone, Stellenbosch and the Napa Valley before returning to work in a number of different Barossa wineries. He has no formal winemaking training, yet has a rare affinity for growing and sourcing spectacular fruit from vines up to 130 years old, which he picks at optimum ripeness to allow the fruit to shine once bottled. He was one of the very first Barossa producers to pick earlier than the norm. He makes bloody good wines. Little surprise his winery is rated five red stars by Halliday, and that he's one of the select few included as part of the Artisans of the Barossa.

Food Pairing

Pumpkin Pork Risotto

If you are a fan of Rhone grapes/wines then I have just the one for you. Coming in at AUS $30, $27 if you are smart enough to head to winedirect.com.au! The Schwarz GSM is UBER drinkable. 2017 wasn't the best vintage in Barossa but what the guys have done at the Schwarz company is a wine that you would think came from one of the better vintages! You get notes of soft red fruit, violet, mulberries, and licorice too alongside juicy tannins, perfectly balanced acidity, and a touch of oak. With ratings of 94 points from both Huon Hooke & Nick Butler, it's defo a great drop.

Pork and Black Pudding Burger

This might seem like a strange one, but I can honestly say that this combo really works. Usually, when you think of burgers you lean towards a beer, or even a nice glass of red. The freshness of the apple, spice coming through from the tomato jam, and the addition of pork had me leaning towards a Riesling.

Phil's Naughty Chorizo

I love the name, it could be the bad guy in a poorly shot western movie but instead it's yet another recipe from yours truly that the Heart Foundation has tried to censor.

Patatas Bravas

I don’t mind choking down a bit of tapas from time to time … Patatas bravas is pretty simple to make, especially if you make your own passata or tomato sauce at home.

The Passata

The key is to keep the flavours in the passata basic … onion and garlic and to reduce a lot so that the sauce is concentrated. Keep the heat to a simmer so as to retain flavour. No need to scoop the seeds out- but get rid of the skins. For the last half hour. Get the simmer as slow as possible and add as much fresh rosemary as you can (on the wood for easy removal) Bottle and freeze

The Spuds

Choose a spud that crisps up well with roasting but keeps the internal flesh nice and fluffy Cut into cubes of anywhere between 1 and 1.5 cm Put the cubes into a roasting tray, season with salt and white pepper, add plenty of olive oil and roast fairly hot until all sides are crispy Given I have a genuine 1970’s non fanforced oven I can’t really tell
