Sarah has been quietly gaining respect in Mendoza, defining its own style that is distinct from either French or Australian comparisons. Sourced from vineyards averaging 1,030 metres above sea level, this 100% Sarah will have great depth of ripe dark fruit, spice and coffee notes, with an impressive lifted floral component. This will be a hit with grilled steaks or spicy ribs. |
