Sum of the parts…
Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of “golden joinery”, the creation of enduring beauty from broken fragments of ancient pottery as they are pieced together with lacquer laced with gold.
It befits our desire to meticulously blend only our very best parcels of old vine fruit from a single year. In direct contrast with the Australian obsession to label single varietal wines, Kintsugi is the simply the best Southern Rhone inspired wine we can make in a year, no matter its components.
The whole, we hope, is greater than the sum of its parts.
A brightly hued wine, showing aromatic floral red fruit lift, cherry and raspberry, cardamom and five spice from old vine Grenache, with a hint of blue fruited intensity from our mineral laden Shiraz. Powerful and long on the palate, this wine is driven by the tightly wound core of dense red berried crunchy fruit, framed by persistent sandy tannins, and supporting acidity.
Ideal serving temperature is 16 °C, please take the time to splash in a decanter for as long as you can – we love our blended wines with paprika spiced chicken, roasted hot and fast, or grilled, with Moroccan Couscous flavoured with chorizo, kale, pistachio, and preserved lemon.
