Wirra Wirra Amator Nouveau 2021

Wirra Wirra Amator Nouveau is a bright, early-drinking red blend of Grenache, Touriga and Shiraz from McLaren Vale.

The estate was first planted in 1894 by Robert Strangways Wigley and brought back to life in 1969 by Greg Trott, whose playful spirit still runs through the place. Amator is Latin for lover, and this label takes a more relaxed, experimental approach. The nouveau style takes its cue from the young, fresh reds of Beaujolais. Grenache leads the blend for perfume and red fruit, Touriga adds floral lift and colour, and a portion of Shiraz fills out the middle. The aim is a light to medium-bodied red with a silky texture and plenty of freshness, and at 13.5% alcohol it sits on the lighter side for the region.

Give it a light chill and serve at around 12 to 14 degrees. It suits antipasto, charcuterie, grilled chicken and mushroom dishes. Nouveau styles are made for early drinking, so enjoy it soon.
