| . | . | . | . | The Dancing Fig Shiraz Mouvedre |
Mouvedre or Mataro is grown in very small quantities in McLaren Vale. However we think it is a variety that particularly suits the region and performs extremely well in hot summers. Mouvedre is an ideal variety to blend with Shiraz where its slightly austere frame gives finesse to the riper fruits of Shiraz. The "Dancing Fig" takes its name from the many fig trees planted at Coriole.
Tasting Notes: Shiraz Mouvedre 2006
This wine is quite aromatic with suggestion of fresh thyme and ripe Satsuma plum.
The palate is full but not dense. Fruit flavours show black cherries and round mocha characters and riper rich finish. The tannins have softened and now makes this wine pleasing, even without food. This is signature silky Coriole: oak influence is subtle and understated.
The Dancing Fig is modern, ripe and bright - and will continue to develop for several years.
