{"product_id":"tournon-mathilda-shiraz-2019","title":"Tournon “Mathilda” Shiraz 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eA mature, Rhône-influenced Shiraz with black fruit, pepper, and savoury complexity. Elegant by Australian standards, with development adding nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tournon “Mathilda” Shiraz 2017 is the embodiment of Rhône tradition meeting Australian terroir. Crafted by Michel Chapoutier, one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected winemakers, this wine represents his vision of showcasing the unique character of Victoria’s vineyards while applying the same precision and respect for terroir that has defined his family’s estate for generations. Named after Michel’s daughter Mathilde, the wine pays tribute to heritage, family, and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards of Victoria’s Pyrenees and Heathcote regions provide the foundation for this Shiraz. Ancient soils and a cooler climate create wines that are bright, expressive, and elegant, with a natural freshness distinct from the fuller-bodied Shiraz styles of warmer South Australian regions. The 2017 vintage captures this perfectly: vibrant fruit framed by Chapoutier’s trademark balance and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it opens with aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and plum, lifted by floral violet and underscored by black pepper and savoury spice. On the palate, juicy red and black fruits mingle with pepper, liquorice, and earthy notes, carried by lively acidity and wrapped in fine, silky tannins. Medium-bodied and polished, it offers both immediate drinkability and the potential to develop further savoury nuance over the next 3–7 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crushed Grape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376084984143,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/2550\/0239\/files\/TournonMathilda.jpg?v=1777547539","url":"https:\/\/crushedgrape.co.uk\/products\/tournon-mathilda-shiraz-2019","provider":"The Crushed Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
