This is the first California wine project by R Wines and there was no mystery to what we wanted to find: the finest vineyard California had to offer. Amazed comes from the Evangelho Vineyard and is a blend of Carignan and Mourvedre from vines aged well over one hundred years old.
Opaque red/black with a scarlet rim. A subtle bouquet of plum jam and dark cherries with a slight hint of smokiness. The palate displays an elegant procession of layers, plum-like fruit and svelte tannins which linger, giving the wine an extraordinarily long and concentrated finish.
Based in Australia, R Wines produces wine from vineyards all over Australia including Riesling from Western Australia, Pinot Noir from Victoria, Shiraz from McLaren Vale and the Barossa just to name a few. R Wines was founded in 2005 by partners Dan Philips, and Chris Ringland. Chris is one of world's leading and most gifted winemakers. He leads teams of winemakers and viticulturalists managing vineyards Australia wide. R Wines that make it to the shelf are not merely sound and well-made, but are stylish, compelling, hand-crafted and peerlessly delicious. We believe that what goes on the bottle is as important as what goes in the bottle and work with world-class designers to create innovative, loud, brilliant labels that speak to consumers in ways unique to the wine world.
The best Grenache in the world is in Australia. The Chateau Chateau project is a study of the effects of soil and place. Five icon vineyards and one blend with distinct expressions, soils and locations in the Barossa and McLaren Vale. There is no illusion, this project includes the world's best Grenache.
