Balthazar of the Barossa Ishtar GSM 2008
About the wine
.
- This is a great blend of 66% Grenache with equal parts (17%) Shiraz, to give some spice and (17%) Mourvedre to provide some nice texture & weight. That's the technical stuff. In translation - loads of blooming lovely fruit.
- In Anita's own words "Grenache is the sexiest grape in the world!". Too right and she lends it even more va-va-va-voom.
- What's more, there's only 500 cases in the world. It sold out in Australia within months but we managed to secure the last 2 pallets! Bingo.
