73 - 84 of 192 Red Rhone Varietal Wines
Dry River Twelve Spies
Martinborough
Available in cartons of six
Dry River are a first growth of Martinborough. One of the region's earliest believers. The crescent shaped appellation lies along the edge of a river terrace formed by the Ruamahunga and Huangarua Rivers. An artisanal accord of Tempranillo and Pinot Noir, Viognier and Shiraz. All the varietals are in balance though the tannin profile might give it away. Delicate acidity to underline the fruit, a story of exquisite balance and harmony and elocution, a mineral thread entwines with the faintest hint of dried herb, the finish is long with the freshness of lingering flavours.

Shiraz is sourced from a single vineyard at Kingsvale south of Young, planted to wind swept altitudes at 500 metres above sea level. Red sands and cracking clays, basalt and decomposed granite soils, working in concert with the chilly continental climes, yield harvests of remarkable complexity and defined regionality, contributing intense, bright red fruit flavours and piquant black pepper notes to the wines. Grapes are completely de-stemmed, inoculated and treated to a very gentle regimen of pneumatic pumpovers throughout the vinification, allowing berries to remain whole and undamaged. Upon completion, components are filled to a selection of 225 litre French oak barrels for maturation.
 
Deep red with red hues. Spicy black pepper, whiff of dried herbs, blackberry aromas with floral notes. Sweet attack then concentrated dark berries, medium bodied with chewy tannins and persistent acidity. The support of profoundly integrated oak and seamless tannins keep the bold weight of fruit in check, finishing long, firm and savoury.
Eden Road The Long Road Syrah
Available by the dozen
A decidedly cold climate style of Shiraz from some of the chilliest terroirs in the land. Its piquantly spiced black pepper nose, blackberry bouquets and winsome floral notes, waft on to a palate of sweetly dark berry flavours, medium bodied Rhone style of delightfully chewy tannins and persistent brambleberry acidity, resolving on a long savoury finish.

The priority at Perrin et Fils is all about the vine's relationship to the earth, the local fauna and the climes by which it is influenced. The estate vineyards are nourished by a compost of sheep's manure and the previous year's pressings which maintain humus content and microbiological equilibrium. Harvest is all done by hand, only the best grapes are sorted and vinified. Varietals are handled separately, the aim being to preserve the individual qualities of fruit and terroir. Components are transferred to large barrels where a racking disturbs it's repose from time to time. Matured in seasoned French oak casks for a year, the wine prepares itself, evolving and maturing until time for assemblage, a light fining and filtration.
 
Deep ruby colour with violet hues. The nose is very intense on ripe fruits, toast and vanilla from elegant ageing. Characters of lavender and mint leaf are present, within a deeply cherried and cassis palate, evoking impressions of earth, peppercorn and herbs. The mouthfeel is supple and round exhibiting fine structure and stately tannins. A beautiful Chateauneuf Du Pape, striking the balance between maturity of vine and freshness of fruit.

Fire Block 1926 Old Bush Vine GSM
Clare Valley
Available by the dozen
Fire Block was excised from a large grazing property in 1923, out of concern that sparks from passing locomotives on the new Clare Valley railway could start bushfires. Situated on the western slope of the Valley, established to vines in 1926, the gnarled old veterans of Fire Block are grown to traditional dryland viticulture, with no systemic sprays or chemical fertilizers. From one of the most parched sites in Valley Clare, the vines sprout bunches of tiny shrivelled berries, yielding small volumes of intensely flavoured juices, to be vinified by the eminent O'Leary Walker winemaking team.
