There are three varieties of grape that are blended to make the new label titled Terzetto. The wine, to come out of Kangarilla Road, is an interesting McLaren Vale blend that proves to be a beautifully satisfying wine.

Winemaker, Kevin O'Brian declared

"The name is Italian for 'threesome', and is a blend of 20% Nebbiolo, 35% Primitivo and 45% Sangiovese."

He added,

"The latter has an intense rose and tannin structure to it, while the Sangiovese and Primitivo add spicy cherry and plum."

"It means that on the palate white and black cherries are dominant along with rose hip, spicy plums and nuances of cardamom, with rustic fruit tannins culminating in a wine with incredible lingering flavours that seem to go on forever,"

concluded O'Brian.

It clearly is an unusual blend and most probably the 2010 vintage won't be the last of Kevin's forays into it. This is one to enjoy with Italian sausage and a mash imbued with garlic. Look to pay around $22.

A Glass For Lunch:

Rymill from Coonawarra has made available a 2012 The Yearling Sauvignon Blanc. This is a wine from an distinctive vintage that produced white wines of wonderful varietal definition and crisp acidity all delivered in time warm summery light enjoyment at meal time.

Best summarised as zesty, rich and crisp this one has been wonderful influenced by tropical fruit and a touch of the zingy freshness of pink guava to the taste buds, which is follow by a longish lasting lime and zesty lemon finish.

Is it any surprise that winemaker Sandrine Gimon describes it as

"an outstanding example of Australian Sauvignon Blanc."

Coming in at $15.95 a bottle you'll find it will prove great to complement a meal of any type of seafood or a summertime Caesar salad.
