Wine Description
In 1906, Sidney Wilcox built the estate homestead, Mulyoulpko (meaning “home by the water”), where he lived while farming the local land and streams, sending the vegetables and fish to the city restaurants and markets. Made specifically to pair with food, these wines are opulent in style and seamlessly balanced for fine dining.
Two collaborative varieties of Grenache and Shiraz, have been blended seamlessly to create a medium bodied, savoury style.
It shows savory red fruits of raspberry and red cherry aromas with spice and dried herbs. Flavours of strawberry, pomegranate and red cherry immediately immerse the pallet. The Grenache provides a spicy nature to the fruit with brightness and finesse, while the Shiraz delivers richness, weight and fruit length to the palate. Soft tannins and medium acid also contribute to a vibrant fruitful palate which is long and generous.
