Pimpernel

2020 Barossa Red Blend

Smallfry Pimpernel is a captivating red blend from the renowned Barossa region, celebrated for its exceptional wine-growing conditions. This 2020 vintage presents a deep red hue that draws you in with its allure. On the palate, the wine showcases a medium-bodied structure that balances harmoniously with its vibrant acidity, creating a lively and mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring alluring notes of dark cherries and ripe plums that mingle seamlessly with subtle undertones of spice and oak. Tannins are present but not overwhelming, adding a gentle firmness that enhances the wine's complexity without overshadowing its fruit-forward character. Smallfry Pimpernel is distinctly dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to hearty pasta dishes, further emphasizing the wine's versatility and approachable charm.

Region:


Barossa

One of Australia's best-known wine regions, the Barossa Valley sits an hour north of Adelaide, where many of the country's most famous wineries are based. In this historic region, old bush vines—some dating back as far as 1860—produce full-bodied wines of dramatic depth and scope, principally from Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. But Shiraz is the region's most popular varietal, with "Barossa Shiraz" almost a recognized brand in its own right, due to its concentrated flavors of juicy black fruit, plush tannins and the sweet spice of American oak. But whites are equally classy here, too, with Barossa's fresh, unoaked Sémillons and always captivating lush Chardonnays.
