Matured in large one year old French oak barrels, Young Wisdom has lifted aromatics of liquorice, lavender and tobacco which beautifully counterpoint the palate’s heady, dark core. Bursting blueberry and black pastille flavours give way to baking spices and violets, wrapped around Mataro’s hearty structure.
"As a child, winemaker Trent Burge always marvelled at the impossibly ancient and tangled Mataro vines that continued to bear fruit each year. Now, his respect for the old wisdom of these plants has transformed the grapes of this quiet achiever (known as Mourvedre in most other countries) into a unique wine that will only be produced in exceptional vintages."
Australia’s wine industry has been phenomenally successful in the last 30 years and today is the world’s fourth largest wine exporter, with wines sold in over 100 countries. Australia was the first of the ‘new world’ wine producing countries to understand how to appeal to modern wine drinkers, with its inexpensive, easy-drinking, wine styles.
