Lino Ramble Simon Says Saperavi

Lino Ramble Simon Says Saperavi 2024 is a deep, compelling McLaren Vale red from Lino Ramble, grown at Chalk Hill’s California Road Vineyard near Port Willunga. Cooling sea breezes and mature vines bring freshness to this Georgian variety, producing a dark, full-bodied wine with serious structure and real cellar potential.

Sarsaparilla, dark cherry and violet lift over satsuma plum, blueberry, blackcurrant, smoked meat and bitter dark chocolate. The palate is rich and textural, with sour-cherry brightness, savoury spice and firm tannins held in check by lively natural acidity. Lino Ramble Simon Says Saperavi 2024 is inky, intense and brilliantly distinctive.

Pair this McLaren Vale Saperavi with charcoal-grilled lamb, slow-braised beef cheek, kangaroo fillet or smoky eggplant parmigiana. Its robust tannins and deep dark fruit thrive beside gamey, richly savoury dishes, while the acidity keeps every bite moving. Decant it generously now, or lay it down for a few years.
