M. Chapoutier Tournon Landsborough Vineyard Grenache Shiraz Touriga 2017 from Victoria’s Pyrenees is a rich, Rhône‑inspired blend, bringing together Grenache’s lift, Shiraz’s depth and Touriga’s spice into a dark, almost opaque, seriously impressive red. It’s bold, complex and tailor‑made for hearty food.

In the glass, expect brilliant deep red colour with aromas of bonfire smoke, blackberry, blackcurrant and bright berry fruits, layered with violets, liquorice, allspice and clove. The palate is full‑flavoured and powerful, packed with ripe dark fruits, sweet spice and savoury edges, carried by fine yet persistent tannins and a long, moreish, dry finish.

On the table, it’s spot‑on with red meat and truffle dishes, roasted pigeon, slow‑braised lamb, chorizo and tomato stews, rich casseroles and hard cheeses. With its structure and 15% alcohol carried seamlessly, Landsborough Vineyard Grenache Shiraz Touriga 2017 has the legs for extended cellaring, developing more game, leather and savoury complexity over 8+ years from vintage.
