Brash Higgins GR/M Grenache Mataro 2021 is a biodynamic wine sourced from the Yangarra Estate’s Upper Blewitt Springs vineyard in McLaren Vale, known for its distinctive sandy soils. The blend consists of 70% Grenache and 30% Mataro (Mourvèdre), co-fermented with wild yeasts in open fermenters and aged for 15 months in seasoned French oak puncheons. It is described as mid-weight and elegant with juicy, perfumed Grenache tones balanced by the savory spice and earthy complexity of Mataro. The wine shows aromas of cherry, sarsaparilla, aniseed, coffee beans, dark chocolate, mint, and cinnamon. The palate is soft textured with silty tannins, a bright amaro-like bitterness on the finish, and a plush medium weight. It is praised for its balance, complexity, and drinkability, scoring 92 to 93 points from critics like Mike Bennie (Wine Front) and Ned Goodwin.
