Storm King Wine Co Mataro Graciano 2021

 

Medium-bodied red fruit driven Mataro meets a muscular Graciano in this 80/20 blend. A new label from the Granite Belt, these Storm King Wine Co wines have landed on the scene with a respectable presence. Debuting with three wines in the range (including Vermentino & Shiraz Malbec), considered winemaking with wines such as these continue to raise the profile of the Queensland industry.

Co-fermented, the fruit sat on skins for 112 days before seeing seasoned French oak for three months.

Laced with vibrant fruit, give this a decant to let it shine. It's earthy too and shows a baked morello cherry cake polish. Granite Belt Mataro shows fine pepper with an undisputed minerality and this wine is no different. It speaks of the soils - off Sundown Road in Ballandean. Generous, it still keeps an energetic vibe, the Graciano dries things out and brings some heavy-handedness on close. Delivering a yin and yang mouthfeel, it is hard to resist.
