2022 Paperbark Red Blend

Say G’day to robust, fruit-forward flavor with 2022 Paperbark Red Blend from South Australia. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, it's rounded out with a touch of Tempranillo and Malbec for a wonderfully balanced yet layered drinking experience. Gorgeous in the glass, this medium to full-bodied red exhibits maroon and purple hues that hint at its ripe dark fruitiness. Aromas of plum, violet, and blackberry carry into the palate, which shows deep complexity; bright cherry and strawberry also come out to play, joined by hints of milk chocolate and spices. Supple tannins linger on the finish, which is remarkably food-friendly. From a fifth-generation winemaking family, Paperbark wines are as loveable as their namesake: an Australian tree with peeling bark and fluffy white flowers. Made from grapes ripened under the intense Australian sun, optimal flavor is developed with minimal intervention. These conditions lead to wines with expressive personality. This red blend pairs well to hearty, flavorful dishes, from your favorite cut of red meat to saucy pastas. It will also complement chicken pot pie, stews, roasted mushrooms, and hard cheeses. Blend of: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tempranillo, Malbec.
