Sherrah Wines Red et Al. Grenache, Shiraz, Nero d’Avola 2022 from McLaren Vale is a vibrant, Mediterranean‑style red where bush‑vine Grenache leads the charge, Shiraz fills out the mid‑palate and Nero brings a savoury Italian twist. Hand‑picked, whole‑berry, small‑batch ferments and seasoned puncheons keep the fruit front and centre while adding just the right polish. This Red et Al. 2022 is a seriously drinkable, modern blend that still has plenty of depth.

In the glass, you are looking at lifted red and black fruits – think spiced cherry, cranberry and blood plum – backed by florals, bergamot, anise and a little earthy, medicinal edge from the Nero. The palate is medium‑bodied and silky, with Grenache’s pretty red fruit and tannin, a cosy Shiraz core and Nero’s lively, tangy kick, all wrapped in dusty tannins that gently frame the finish without feeling heavy or oaky. It is bright, silken and very moreish.

This Sherrah Red et Al. Grenache, Shiraz, Nero d’Avola 2022 is tailor‑made for barbecue nights – think spicy pork ribs, grilled sausages, lamb cutlets or char‑grilled vegetables. It is also a cracking match with pizza, tapas or tomato‑based pasta, where its spice, juicy fruit and savoury tannins slide in neatly alongside richer Mediterranean flavours on the table.
