The 2021 John Duval Plexus Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre is a beautifully crafted Barossa Valley blend, showcasing the depth and complexity of these three iconic Rhône varieties. This vintage presents a deep ruby hue with an aromatic bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, fragrant spice, and hints of dried herbs. Notes of blackberry, plum, and cherry are complemented by layers of liquorice, earth, and a touch of cedar from well-integrated oak.  

On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, offering a seamless balance of plush fruit, fine tannins, and fresh acidity. Shiraz provides richness and structure, Grenache adds vibrancy and red fruit lift, while Mourvèdre contributes savoury depth and complexity. Flavours of dark berries, black pepper, and spice unfold elegantly, leading to a long, textured finish with lingering mineral and floral notes. Approachable in its youth but with the ability to age gracefully over the next decade, the 2021 Plexus pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, or Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
