Calabria Saint Macaire Oak Aged 2005 RED Australia

Bill Calabria's fantastic Saint Macaire - a huge red from a long-lost Bordeaux grape variety - is fast becoming a cult classic. This knockout grape variety was named after a charming French village not far from Bordeaux. Years ago it was grown aplenty but they might as well call the village St. Merlot these days because there's no St. Macaire planted anymore. All the village's vineyards are now filled with more recognisable Merlot and Cabernet. It seems all the Saint Macaire has gone to Bill's estate - where his magic touch has crafted a rich mouthfilling red from the gnarled sixty year-old vines. "Intense dark red with ripe blackcurrant aromas. Rich blackberry plum and toasty oak flavours are supported by supple tannins. Delicious with roasted lamb with fresh herbs and vintage cheeses."
