We received our latest Wine Folly shipment this month focusing on Warm Climate Wines from South Africa, Paso Robles, Spain, and Australia. Climate plays a HUGE role in a wine’s structure. Vines steeped in rich sunlight tend to yield super-ripe grapes that are higher in sugar content, which can increase tannins and produce fuller-bodied fruit-forward grapes. Yummy, right!?
We thought so! We cracked open the Yering Station (an Australian 98% Shiraz 2% Viognier blend) last night with its blackberry, oak, baking spices, and black pepper aromas packing an immediate punch. This wine was medium-bold and full of flavor that finishes with a delightful black pepper zing.
This was our third Wine Folly shipment, and we have been satisfied with every bottle we’ve received. Can’t wait to see what the next shipment brings!
