Tasting notes:
Sixty Clicks Shiraz Mataro. A really expressive, bright, contemporary Aussie red. The nose of soft, open, chocolatey fruit has a clove note with a palate of fresh brambly. And cherry-red fruit that leads to a gently spicy finish.
Food Match:
Great with a BBQ in the summer, comforting meat casseroles in the winter. Or just a great all-rounder in between.
Region/Producer:
Quintessentially Australian. This range offers consistent quality, hugely appealing, commercial wine styles that have gained a loyal following. Reflecting Boutinot’s skill and experience in seeking out the very best of Australia. Their wines capture ideal climatic conditions and pure varietal definition.
Boutinot’s Samantha Bailey brings her signature palate and decades of experience to finessing their components into the loveliest Boutinot expressions of Oz.
The Shiraz and Mataro grapes used in this blend come from the flatter parts of the vineyard in north-west Victoria. The vineyards run from east to west ensuring they gain the maximum amount of sunlight , This gives the grapes all the development they need on the red sandy loam soils with clay sub-soil.
Grapes are harvested by machine at night, arriving at the winery to be crushed within the hour and pressed by bag. And then moved to the fermentation tanks, where they spend 4 weeks with oak staves, on their skins Pumped over four times a day. The final blending of the Shiraz and Mataro wines are done under strict supervision of the head winemaker. They are then transported to the bottling facility.
