Wine Summary Image

Blackbilly wine is produced using the famous vineyards of McLaren Vale known for wines of richness and diversity. Using modern and traditional winemaking techniques we craft wines of exceptional value and flavour for drinking and enjoyment. Blends of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre (a.k.a. Mataro or Monastrell) is McLaren Vale’s signature blended wine. Old vineyards, a Mediterranean climate and classical winemaking, which includes the use of oak ensures a wine of substance and style.

This is the eleventh vintage of this regional blend using the varieties Grenache — from a vineyard planted in 1910 — (65%) and used for its fruit, Shiraz (29%) - used for its structure & colour and Mourvedre (6%) - for spiciness. These varieties have underpinned the region’s wines and many of the grapes come from prized old vines.

After fermentation, the individual wines are matured in a mixture of old larger format oak with a smaller portion of newer French oak for complexity. Complex and with life, this wine will suit many elegant to full flavoured foods, particularly Mediterranean cuisine.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep burgundy with a distinctive purple hue.

Nose: Fresh and zippy showing blended complexity. Blue fruits with a hint of lavender and Turkish delight around a core of spicy aromatics.

Palate: Up front blue fruits, verging to dark cherry combine well with a solid mid palate highlighting light oak tannin and flavour. Distinct crisp, mouth-watering acidity keeps the freshness and appeal of this juicy, medium bodied style.

Potential: This vintage has produced fruity well structured wines that have medium to long term cellaring potential.

Foods: Steak, lamb roasts and hearty stews.

    • Winery Profile

    An eye for value and an aim to provide generosity in sharply defined flavours sits at the core of Blackbilly wines. Since its inception in 2001, Blackbilly has produced consistent results through its discerning selection of high quality fruit while maintaining modest prices. To get the desired results, Blackbilly sources fruit from across the Adelaide region for crisp white wines, and to Langhorne Creek, Currency Creek and the old vineyards of McLaren Vale for rich, distinctive reds. As the label and brand name implies – honouring the hardy scrub plant called Blackbilly that skirts many vineyards areas – it tastes authentically of Australia. Beyond Blackbilly’s core range of shiraz, chardonnay, pinot gris, sauvignon blanc and a grenache/shiraz/mourvedre blend, the additional Winemakers’ Playground wines – tempranillo, sangiovese – represent new styles that excite and inspire the winemakers, and have been released as impressive small-batch trials.
