Torbreck Cuvée Juveniles 2019

Barossa, South Australia, Australia

Cuvée Juveniles has long been a favourite in the Torbreck stable. Made in the manner of Côtes du Rhône, this is a blend of grenache, mataro (mourvèdre) and shiraz from mostly old, unirrigated vineyards in the Barossa Valley (ranging from 40 to 150 year old vines). This fresh and fruity, produced without any oak aging. The 2019 vintage was marked by a hot and dry summer and three major frost incidents that resulted in an earlier and much smaller harvest than usual.  Love the juicy red fruit with enticing floral and spice notes. Medium bodied and flavourful, this is smooth and easy to appreciate. Drink now to 2027. (92/100)
