2017 Adelaide Hills Australia Red Blend

Basket Range Wine Backstroke is a delightful red blend from the picturesque Adelaide Hills region of Australia, a place celebrated for its cool climate and diverse microclimates that perfectly nurture grape growing. This 2017 vintage exhibits a vibrant red hue that entices the eye, while the nose reveals an aromatic medley of bright red berries and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, the wine showcases a medium-bodied structure, balanced by bright acidity that adds liveliness to each sip. The tannins are beautifully integrated, offering a gentle yet noticeable presence that complements the fruit intensity, creating a harmonious experience. While it leans towards a dry profile, the luscious fruit flavors linger, making it an exceptional choice for a variety of food pairings, or simply to enjoy on its own.
