Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2020
Type: Red Wine (Organic / Minimal Intervention / Rhône-Style Blend)
Region: Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, South Australia, Australia
Grapes: Grenache & Shiraz
Alcohol ABV: 14%
Tasting Profile and Key Notes
Aroma:
An expressive and elegant McLaren Vale blend showing aromas of ripe raspberry, blueberry, mulberry, and plum. Grenache brings bright red fruit, floral notes, and lifted perfume, while Shiraz adds depth with black pepper, dark berries, liquorice, anise, and savoury spice. Hints of road tar, dried herbs, and earthy notes add complexity to the aromatic profile.
Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with a beautiful balance between generosity and freshness. The palate delivers juicy raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, and dark plum flavours, supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Savoury notes of black pepper, Chinese spice, olive, and subtle earthiness create a long, structured finish. Unlike traditional powerful McLaren Vale reds, this wine shows elegance, restraint, and European-inspired tannin structure.
Winemaking
The Grenache and Shiraz components are made separately from selected vineyard parcels before being blended together. The Grenache contributes fragrance, red fruit purity, and finesse, while Shiraz provides darker fruit, spice, and structure. The wine is crafted with minimal intervention, using gentle extraction and maturation to preserve freshness, natural tannin, and the character of Blewitt Springs.
Farming
Paralian focuses on site-driven wines from Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, an area known for old vines, sandy soils, and a unique coastal influence. The vineyards are farmed with a sustainable approach, allowing Grenache and Shiraz to express the region’s combination of ripe fruit character, freshness, and savoury complexity.
