“The Holy Trinity”

Grant Burge “The Holy Trinity” GSM 2009 Barossa Valley Australia

In contrast to last week, this week we choose Mourvedre blended wine from Australia made in the Southern France style of Rhone.

Appearance: Brick red in color

Aroma: Vibrant aromas of ripe red cherries, raspberries and subtle floral notes

Flavors: Cherry and floral notes continue onto the palate, along with silky smooth tannins and a delicately refined structure

Finishing Notes: Well balanced and elegant, tannins and acidity pair up nicely throughout

Perfect Pairing: We would suggest a crispy roasted half of a duck with stir-fried Chinese greens with baby spinach, bok choy and mushrooms in a ginger, oyster and soy sauce.
