2023 The Verve Red by Salomon Estate
Description
WINEMAKER: Dr Bert Salomon
VARIETY: Syrah, Grenache, Touriga
REGION: Adelaide Hills, S.A.
VITICULTURE: Lo-Fi
The colour is crimson-purple; the flavours are dominated with layers of red and black berries, bright and savoury. Subtle fine notes of wild game and ripe tannins you find on the middle palate. A full bodied, racy and complex wine. The bright finish provides freshness and balance.
"From Austrian winemaking legend Dr Bert Salomon’s Southern hemisphere endeavour, a superbly sited vineyard overlooking Lake Alexandrina, the lower reaches of the Murray River and in the distance the Great Southern Ocean, all of which water-cool and air-condition the vines during the ripening season. The Verve represents this vineyard’s lighter red wine styling, a chillable red combo in which the varietal composition changes year to year, this 2023 outing 70% Syrah with 15% each of Grenache and Touriga, the latter two offering a flowering native bush fragrance, the palate echoing the aromas with light and easy red fruit flavours. It’s all very juicy and morishly drinkable, though lingers a bit as you sip and there’s a dusting of baking spice and white pepper – thank the Syrah for that! Clever blending has resulted in a very modern red wine."- Winepilot

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
