2015 Moorilla Cloth Label Red, Southern Tasmania

29% shiraz, 26% pinot noir, 21% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc, 4% riesling.

This vintage is a touch lighter than the last, showing many of the qualities you’d normally see in an LDR, with a bit more character—a Medium Dry Red, perhaps. Red-maroon hues on pouring foreshadow the nose: tomato leaf, blood plum and cardamom. The palate boasts a beautiful acidity, and the flavours perfectly straddle the blend of lighter and heavier grape varieties, with fruit-of-the-forest berries and blackcurrants giving way to raisins and dried cranberries. A shining example of the unique terroir of the St Matthias.
