The Powell & Son Riverside Grenache Mataro Shiraz is an approachable red wine crafted by legendary Barossa winemaker Dave Powell. It is a vibrant Rhône-style blend sourced from mature vines in the southern Lyndoch district, showcasing the incredible purity and balance of a sensational, cool-ripening 2021 vintage.
- Aromas: Lifted notes of black raspberries, kirsch, and mulberries, layered with dried violets, subtle woodsmoke, and sweet baking spices.
- Palate: Soft and richly fruited, delivering pure flavors of ripe cherry, red plum, and savory charcuterie wrapped in smooth, polished tannins.
- Style: Generous and seamlessly balanced, matching Dave Powell's signature depth with great energy and a refined, refreshing finish.
-
Winemaking: Vinified separately; half of the Grenache ages in stainless steel for freshness, while the remaining components mature in large French oak foudres.
- Food Pairing: Pairs magnificently with slow-roasted pork belly, duck pancakes, wild game dishes, or a rustic herb-crusted lamb rack.
A voluptuous GMS blend represents a seamless execution of Dave Powell's signature style, expertly marrying the vibrant fruit profile of premium southern Barossa vines with the large-oak refinement and old-school craftsmanship
Powell & Son
Powell & Son may be a relatively new label, but it is the creation of a man with one of the most formidable reputations in Australian wine. Dave Powell is the founder of Torbreck — the Barossa juggernaut that took the wine world by storm in the 1990s — and he brings that same depth of knowledge and conviction to everything he does.
That inspiration is reflected in the varieties Powell & Son work with: Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro for the reds, and Roussanne, Marsanne and Eden Valley Riesling for the whites — the classic Rhône palette transplanted into two of Australia's most celebrated wine regions, and interpreted with the kind of quiet mastery that only comes from a lifetime in the vines.
