Tasting Notes
Pete Schell (Great name) knows how to blend it like Beckham (Horrible pun)... On the fuller side of the blends he is known for, like Esprit and Papillon. For me this wine is all about the Mataro, making up 37% of the blend. The Mataro helps add a layer of savoury depth to the wine. Brightened by the remaining components of Grenache, Cinsault and Shiraz, which is where the red and blue fruits join the party. A real winner... Also like Beckham. - Pete L
Peter Schell and Magali Gely have had a home in the Barossa Valley for over twenty years and hold a strong commitment to and passion for the Barossa. They also have a strong French connection, both physically and philosophically. Magali's family, who up until recently were vignerons with a long lineage in Lunel, near Montpellier, still live in south west France, and over the last ten years Peter has worked six French vintages, in Provence, the Languedoc, Bordeaux and Burgundy. Time spent in the south of France has fuelled their interest in making unique, hand crafted wines with personality, which are generous and honest expressions of the varieties and their provenance.Grapes are sourced from a group of dedicated growers in both the Barossa and Eden Valleys, taking advantage of the great diversity of the soils and meso-climates of the Barossa to create wines with balance, character, depth of flavour and Barossan generosity.
