Grant Burge The Holy Trinity 2021

Grant Burge The Holy Trinity 2021 is a sophisticated, elegant, and masterfully balanced red wine that honors the legendary heritage of the traditional Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre blend in the Barossa Valley. Sourced predominantly from handpicked, old dry-grown vines ranging from 50 to 120 years old, this cool-season vintage exhibits a beautifully coiled restraint and exceptional freshness. In the glass, it reveals a vibrant, deep ruby-red color with purple reflections at the rim. The highly expressive, fragrant nose opens with bright aromas of blueberry, ripe cherry, and wild raspberry, seamlessly interwoven with undertones of dried herbs, sweet spices, aniseed, and a touch of pencil shavings. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied, juicy, and fleshy, delivering excellent fluid coherence where its core of dark and red forest berries is beautifully harmonized by fine-grained, velvety tannins and a lingering line of crisp natural acidity. Subtle nuances of light chocolate, savory game meat, and a distinct ferrous undercarriage add remarkable depth, carrying the wine into a long, persistent, and mouth-coating finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs exquisitely with slow-roast lamb shoulder, roasted duck breast, herb-infused chicken kebabs, gently spiced cauliflower steaks, or savory pork tenderloin.
