This more modern wine, a blend of Pinot Noir (50%), Tempranillo (25%) and 25% co-fermented Syrah and Viognier, is new territory for Dry River.
As one may expect from a varietal blend, a complex array of aromas can be detected. Spice, pepper, cloves and liquorice are mixed with cherry, fruit of the forest, Bram berry compote and floral notes. A smooth and elegant entrance is followed by a silken soft texture building towards the back, where the tannins interact playfully with the acidity. This creates a linear and straight palate shape. More powerful fruit, such as blueberries, plum and cassis provide a considerable weight. Each wine component contributes to this new personality; elegance and grace from Pinot noir, weight and liveliness from the Tempranillo, complemented by the seriousness and tenacity of Syrah.
This wine is not a fly by night, one off experiment. Dry River intends for this blend be part of it's remarcable stable for many years to come.
