The 2016 Incygnes Green’s Vineyard Shiraz Grenache Mataro (SGM) is a vibrant and expressive blend from the heart of the Barossa Valley. This wine comprises 61% Shiraz, 33% Grenache, and 6% Mataro, aged for 18 months in French oak hogsheads, with 30% new.
Appearance: Deep, inky black core with a rich, dark red-black hue.
Aroma: A bright and aromatic bouquet of black raspberry, black cherry, and liquorice immediately greets the nose, underpinned by notes of scorched earth, hints of new leather, and black pepper.
Palate: The full-bodied palate is dominated by rich black cherry and liquorice fruits, seamlessly integrated with smoky vanillin cedar, earthy tones, and black pepper. The plush fruit is balanced by ripe, chewy, graphite-like tannins that provide structure and depth. The finish is long, intense, and robust, with lingering black pepper characteristics.
This SGM offers a delightful combination of bold fruit, savory spice, and a velvety texture, making it both approachable now and promising for further evolution with careful cellaring.
