There's a lot going on in this red blend. Part of the new guard in Barossa Valley, and 'Papillon' is so unexpected if you've only ever tried the 'old guard'. A plush, pretty, lifte d and elegant blend - this year it's Grenache, Cinsault and a splash of Counoise (a tidy little grape that adds a 'Je ne sais quoi' to a Rhone red). Raspberry liquorice, boysenberry, blueberry and lick of spice makes this lighter style red difficult to put down. It's so, so good. Drink it slightly chilled, or not. Where: Kaurna and Ngadjuri (Barossa Valley, SA) When: 2023 What: Grenache 66%, Cinsault 31%, Counoise 3% How: A perfect bottle for BYO. Show more
