Wagner Family Red Schooner Transit No. 3, Red Blend, Australia

Description

Winery Notes:

Our "Red Wine of the World," is a red blend is sourced from famed regions of southern Australia, the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Consisting of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, Transit 3 is bold yet nuanced. Vibrant nose with scents of berry basket, chocolate covered strawberries and fresh mint. Intense strawberry/raspberry on palate, along with ripe apricot. Extremely soft tannins give the spotlight to lush, bright fruit. Just like our Red Schooner Malbec from Argentina is known by the "voyage" that produced it, this wine is called a sequential "transit."

Producer Notes:

A dark, swirling purple, this wine has a wildness to match. Intense scents of smoky meat, chocolate and wet soil are layered with light wood and a whiff of mint. The palate reveals a unique Australian character, featuring flavors of plum and more refreshing mint. Soft, dusty tannins give this wine a textural richness that enhances its aromas and flavors. On the finish: traces of brown spice add a final kick to lush fruit.
