The 2011 The Holy Trinity is brick red in colour. The elegant nose displays vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry & fragrant violet floral notes. Indicative of the vintage the palate shows a suppleness & fragrance with an underlying silky structure of deep cherry, blackberry & plum fruits all perfectly integrated with secondary layers of licorice, forest floor & spice. The long persistent, fleshy fruit profile is perfectly balanced with an attractive savoury finish. This release is a blend of 56% Grenache, 33% Shiraz & 11% Mourvedre. This elegant wine has the balance to develop more complexity with careful cellaring for the next 8
- 12 years & is well suited to chicken teriyaki, duck breast & wild mushroom risotto. The Holy Trinity is modelled on the wines of the southern Rhone in France, where traditionally they blend varieties such as Grenache, Shiraz & Mourvedre. The fruit for this wine is 100% Barossan, handpicked from old, dry-grown vines which range from 50 to 120 years old.
