Dune | McLaren Vale
The next generation of the Lloyd family (Coriole) planting their flag in the Vale.
A new project from brothers Duncan and Peter Lloyd, Dune Wines sees them step out from the shadow of Coriole wines. Sourcing fruit from a single vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. Organic-in-conversion, this sandy vineyard has been completely re-imagined since being purchased by the brothers in 2009. Planting and grafting over southern Mediterranean varietals has seen them create a unique range of blends alongside some classic and SO2-free Shiraz.
2022 Aïn Salah Cinsault
Cinsault is showing great promise in the vineyard under conditions in McLaren Vale. It has shown to be a late-ripening variety with large berries and lighter skins.
This wine stylistically lies between a heavy rose and light red. We picked this at 11.5 Be so have ended up with a red wine lighter in alcohol (11.4%) but importantly still packed with flavour and texture in the mouth.
Aromas and flavours waver between red fruits of raspberry, watermelon, pomegranate and ripe strawberry and complex flavours of spiced citrus rind, blood orange, sweet herbs and lavender. The palate is rounded and full in the mouth with refreshing minerality. Low alcohol, soft acidity and low tannin makes this wine a perfect candidate for slightly chilled summer drinking.
