Dune Tirari McLaren Vale Red Blend 2024 (Australia)

Description

Cherry, Herbal, Spice

"Savoury and spicy, with preserved black cherry, dried olive, black plum skin, panforte spicing, chinotto, star anise, and umeboshi. Modest in weight, and from varieties that can be fulsome and gruff, this is elegant and food-friendly, with a fine line of tannin and a fanning of cherry-scented fruitfulness marking the finish. This is also excellent chilled. Lovely" Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

It smells of wild berries, dried herbs, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it’s plump and supple, with bright red fruit, a touch of earthiness, and fine, chewy tannins that lead to a savoury, moreish finish. It’s the kind of wine that begs for food—think woodfired pizza or chargrilled meats—but it’s just as good on its own for a casual midweek pour.

Dune continues to offer up some of the best bang for your buck in McLaren Vale, and here again, the Lloyd brothers have created a medium-bodied red that’s juicy, characterful, and seriously easy to love. Dune is all about crafting wines that are fun, approachable, and seriously high-quality, and the 2024 Tirari is no exception. A wine with personality, versatility, and a glimpse into McLaren Vale’s bright future.

Negroamaro, Touriga and Mataro working together here to create a soft, savoury and smashable red. Modern McLaren Vale!

Our 2024 DUNE Tirari is a vibrant medium bodied red. It is made from touriga, mataro and negroamaro with a dash of grenache (approx 5% grenache with the remaining 95% made up of approx equal parts of the other three varieties).
