RBJ Grenache-Mourvedre 'Theologicum' 1998 (by Chris Ringland) 750ml



$29.99
3 available

"This is a noteworthy blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvedre. Aged in old wood, it is reminiscent of an attractive, spicy, cinnamon, cherry, and earthy southern Rhone. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, and best drunk over the next 5-6 years. Approximately 1,000 cases were produced." Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, June 2001.

"The name comes from the three owners of this venture: Ringland, Bruce and Johnstone. They have 1 ha each of old, dry-grown grenache and mourvedre, and have quietly gone about their work over the past 15 years, secure in the knowledge that there would always be more demand than supply. Their stated aim â??is to work with this great fruit and make wines that are driven by the vineyard with little influence of oak'. "  James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
