Mach 2t Durif Shiraz 2022

The name? Somewhat academic but a Mach number is defined as the ratio of two speeds. An aircraft travelling at Mach 2 is going twice the speed of sound, which itself is affected by composition and temperature. Dig a little deeper and you'll come across terms such as 'compressible flow' ... and if you're someone who is more interested in the social side of wine enjoyment rather than the science behind it, you'll probably be wanting to stop reading and pour yourself a glass of this very delicious new red. What is clear is that this combination of grapes seems to produce a wine bigger and richer than the sum of its parts – the Durif acting as a sort of turbo-charge to the mouthfilling Shiraz and the results are very moreish indeed.
