Magpie Estate, The Scoundrel Grenache 2015

£14.49

Booze-soused cherry, rose water, root spice, a prickle of cardamom and clove (30% whole bunch) and a gentle vanilla icing round out the experience, before cranberry acidity crackles down its spine.

Magpie Estate, The Scoundrel Grenache Mataro Shiraz 2015

£14.49

A blend of 66% grenache, 22% mataro and the remainder shiraz, this is an hierarchical order similar to the southern Rhone and surely, increasingly suited to the Barossa and its environs. Oak handling was minimal, presumably to accentuate the wine's brightness. This said, the wine's aura is highly savoury: anise, black olive and a seam of spicy, prickly tannins threading their way through fruits, red and dark. Kirsch is the mainstay, crackling fore to aft across the voltage of crunchy acidity.

Magpie Estate, The Scoundrel Shiraz 2015

£14.49

Clenched in the grip of camphor-like reduction, this needs air: aggressive wrist jerks or a decant will do the job. The wine comes clean to reveal clove, anise and a morass of brooding, dark fruit. Having spent 16 months in oak, 15% new, there is some vanilla and bitter chocolate, too. This said, there is crunch, verve and vigour to this. It is not at all heavy. For those who appreciate shiraz in the traditional sense, this will please, albeit with a breath of freshness.
