Charles Melton Grains of Paradise 2017 is 100% Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, South Australia, bottled at 14.5% ABV. The fruit is farmed organically and biodynamically, and the wine is vegan friendly.
Deep in colour, it opens with powerfully sweet, expressive Barossa Christmas cake spice. Clove leads, and it becomes even more apparent when you taste it, like spooning the leftovers from the mixing bowl with the clove bulb still in it. Nutmeg and mint perfumes sit alongside. It is not a fruity wine. Instead it is quietly confident and rich, with a sweet mid palate and a touch more grip than the Nine Popes.
Think of it as the counterpoint to Melton's Grenache-based Nine Popes: pure Barossa Shiraz, showing absolute typicity of its region and the house cellar style. Open it with slow-roasted lamb, braised short rib or a charred rib eye. Ralph's imports Charles Melton direct and delivers across Metro Manila.
