Malbec Shiraz Durif
Overview
Salvatore Trimboli was named after his grandfather, the family’s winemaker back in Italy many years ago. And his Malbec Shiraz Durif is a true family wine, as it blends Malbec (from his wife’s native Argentina) with Durif (a personal favourite of his for many years). The Shiraz adds a velvety softness.
Colour
A sumptuous deep purple-red.
Aroma
Introduces plenty of dark fruit fragrances, and hints at the refined Limousin oak characters on the palate.
Taste
A full rich mouthfeel, with concentrated sweet blueberry, blackberry and ripe cherry. The tannins are soft but firm, with underlying vanilla flavours from the Limousin oak. A standout wine which reflects the best characteristics of each grape variety.
Enjoy with
Hearty meat dishes such as well-aged aged steak, a boeuf bourguignon or spaghetti bolognaise. Also suits rich vegetable dishes such as mushroom stroganoff or garlic mushrooms.
