Coates The Mourvèdre 2021 (12 Bottles) Adelaide Hills, South Australia

The 2021 Coates ‘The Mourvèdre’, crafted by Duane Coates MW in McLaren Vale, South Australia, is a superb example of this bold Mediterranean variety grown on Willunga’s Biscay soils. Aromas of blueberry, plum, earthy herbs and game segue into a medium‑bodied palate layered with juicy berry fruit, lavender and exotic spice. Silky, fine-grained tannins and smoky oak integrate effortlessly, underpinned by a gentle mineral thread that carries through a long, polished finish.
