2023 Nouveau Field Blend
The 2023 Nouveau Field Blend is hand crafted using only grapes grown on our McLaren Vale Estate. The 2023 Vintage is a blend of Grenache hand-picked from the block 8 and the bush vines located a few steps from the winery, Shiraz hand-picked from block 37.
Crimson red in colour with lifted aromas of rose petals, sour cherry, red berries and herbs. The palate has layers of blueberry, cherry and fresh raspberries with some dried herbs and ginger spice on the finish. A delicious medium bodied wine that can be lightly chilled and enjoyed throughout the warmer months.

"Grenache 82%, shiraz 18%. Early picking and no lingering on skins make for an approachable affair, a wine of immediate, red-fruited appeal, but shunning the ‘nouveau’ trap of veering into confection. Gently tart red berries, strawberry and deep-red cherries lead, accented with a spritz of orange zest and white pepper. A supple, slippery, mid-weight palate is schooled by feathery, pithy tannins, cinching in without intruding, making it ideal for a chill, if that’s your wont." Marcus Ellis
