Dune 'Blewitt Springs' Shiraz 2021

The next Generation of the Lloyd family (Coriole) planting their flag in the Vale. A new project from brothers Duncan and Peter Lloyd, Dune wines sees them step out from the shadow of Coriole wines. Sourcing fruit from a single vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of Mclaren Vale. Organic in conversion, this sandy vineyard has been completely re-imagined since being purchased by the brothers in 2009.

"A mixture of whole bunches, whole berries and crushed fruit; matured in used oak for 12 months. Dense, deep purple-crimson hue. A full-bodied wine with all manner of dark, if not black, things. Black peppercorns, black licorice, dark chocolate, plum, cherry allsorts and leather old and new ... yet it doesn't taste full bodied, just complex and shapeshifting."  James Halliday. Halliday Wine Companion.

"Rich, dark cherry, floral and ferrous, a mint and liquorice thing too. It’s fleshy, but more or less medium-bodied, meaty and ripe, all the silty Turkish coffee tannin, freshness too, blueberries and allspice, with thick tannin and a perfumed finish of excellent length. Excellent."  Gary Walsh. The Wine Front.
