About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Grenache & Grenache BlendsBarossa Valley, AustraliaCharles Melton's Nine Popes Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre is based on Châteauneuf du Pape, a French wine region, which translates to 'New Castle of the Popes' and has become an iconic wine not only in Australia but worldwide. The 1999 vintage is full of spicy fruit matched with oak balance and integration. This is a great interpretation of the Southern Rhône style.

The bouquet is spicy and lively, with excellent fruit and oak balance and integration, the juicy/spicy palate likewise, complex but elegant and long, a true reflection of southern Rhone style.
