After terrible bushfires ripped through the Adelaide Hills over Christmas, 21 winemakers from across the region – and some from other regions who buy Adelaide Hills grapes – contributed parcels of wine to be blended together to make this delicious blend of shiraz and pinot meunier. It’s a lovely, medium-bodied, highly gluggable wine, the black fruit and gamey spice of the shiraz complemented by the silky, juicy, undergrowthy character of the meunier. Just the kind of red you want on hand as the weather warms and thoughts turn to eating outdoors.
It's been a rough year for the industry, which has suffered from fire, pandemic and personal tragedy. But there are great ways for wine lovers to show they care.
