A few weeks ago, I wrote about top quality Australian wines and I discovered that one of my favourite wineries, Torbreck in the Barossa Valley, makes one of M&S's own-label wines: the Marananga Dam Old Vines Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvedre at just £15.
Torbreck have built their reputation making top quality Rhone-style red wines with Australian warmth, and they are one of the country's most iconic wineries. I am delighted to report that this wine totally lives up to its epic credentials: full of deliciously ripe autumnal fruits, sweet spice and a lovely freshness that doesn't make it too heavy. With every sip, the flavours are more and more complex.
This wine is well worth hunting down, I realise it is above my usual £10 budget but this massively overdelivers for its £15 price point. One to buy for your next romantic steak supper or special Sunday roast.
Happy Swigging!
