Sister's Run Cow's Corner Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2018
Barossa, South Australia, Australia
A juicy and delicious GSM from the Barossa Valley wine region, intense and full-bodied with pink florals, smoky cherry and blackberry aromas on the nose, accompanied with baking and pepper spice, cold tea and toasty oak spice flavours vibrant on the palate. Pair this food-friendly GSM with a meat-lover's pizza or gourmet burgers from the grill. The "cow' corner" is an area of a cricket field with respect to the batsman in cricket and is always deep in the field on the batsman's leg side where the 'cow shots' are intended to go.
