Lienert Vineyards Tierra del Puerco Challenger GMM 2022

Tasting Note 

Medium ruby in the glass, this blend of Grenache, Mataro and Malbec opens with lifted aromas of dried cherry, cola and aniseed spice. The palate is smooth and flowing, where Grenache brings red fruit brightness, Mataro adds savoury depth, and Malbec lends plush texture and colour. Cherry and mulberry meet flashes of beef stock and cola spice, carried by fine, sandy tannins. Silky and balanced, it’s a wine made for good company and easy conversation.

Reviews

Medium deep ruby colour with dried cherry, cola and anise spice aromatics. Slippery and gliding, cherry and mulberry fruit, beef stock and cola spice notes show as it glides along the palate. Good length; fine sandy tannins ensure it carries long but don’t interfere with its silky texture. Approachable and friendly drinking.
