Alpha Box and Dice Mistress 2019

South Australia, AustraliaMistress is a blends' blend, sourcing touriga nacional, tempranillo, and carignan from Barossa, Adelaide Hills, and Langhorne Creek. Each variety was harvested and native fermented separately, with a mix of whole bunch and whole berry in the lot. As one could expect from the mix of grapes and regions, there are a lot of disparate parts in this fuller red: ripe raspberry and black cherry, thorny cassis, wild mint, potpourri, and cracked mustard seed fill the fuller palate, framed with sticky tannins to a spiced finish. An adventurous mistress for taking to a BBQ now.Tasted: 21 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
