Frederick Stevenson Piñata 2023 from the Barossa Valley is a lively, mid‑weight red blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre that’s built to be fun, fragrant and seriously drinkable straight from the fridge or cellar. Frederick Stevenson Piñata 2023 leads with Cinsault’s light perfume and crunchy red fruit, Grenache’s vibrant cherry‑raspberry core, Syrah’s darker berry and spice, and a twist of Mourvèdre leather and gaminess in the background.

On the palate it’s smooth, juicy and medium‑bodied, brimming with plums, dark cherries and raspberries wrapped around bright acidity and dusty, drying tannins that pull everything together without heaviness. It’s a little untamed, full of personality and absolutely made to be enjoyed slightly chilled as an all‑day, any‑occasion red.

Food‑wise, reach for charcuterie, pizza, burgers, grilled sausages, roast chicken or a tray of Mediterranean veg and halloumi – anything casual, salty and shareable that suits a chillable Barossa red. It’s also a brilliant “house red” for parties and BBQs where you want flavour without weight.
