Grant Burge Virtuoso Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2015

June 14, 2016

Exclusive to Dan Murphys. Clever little wine this – taps into the easy attractiveness of juicy Barossa Grenache (and the rest)…

Grant Burge Virtuoso Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2015

Deep ruby, the nose is all red fruit and little oak, with the Grenache dominating proceedings and adding in some lovely licoricey extra bits before a very easy palate.

Not complex, but ticks the joven box nicely without being contrived. Best drinking: 2016-2020. 16.8/20, 89/100. 14.5%, $18.99. Would I buy it? I’d go a glass or so.

(I use inklpay in lieu of a paywall. A small tip goes a long way to finally paying for hosting!)

Does it say on the bottle who did the art work on the label?

Sadly this is now in the recycling bin so I couldn’t say.

Bottles don’t last long in my house!

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
