Details
A fantastic blended red composed of southern French and Portugese varieties, with high drinkability and juiciness being the key markers here! Grenache leads the way, with some wholebunches for floral lift, and the complementing Touriga Nacional and Cinsault add dirt, gravel and richness. Plenty to like here, and a great BBQ wine.
Somos is the passion project turned full scale wine adventure from two enthusiastic young winemakers - one Australian and one Mexican - both looking to make interesting and contemporary wines from McLaren Vale. Benjamin Caldwell and Mauricio Ruiz Cantu are the creative duo behind this exciting project, which is focussed on 'alternative' varieties from sustainably managed vineyards - varieties like Aglianico, Vermentino, Cortese and other Italian wonders! These unique wines are made with a deft touch, the resulting styles perfumed and balanced, bursting with energy and personality. Just minuscule volumes are produced, meaning each wine is very limited, but there is great fun and exciting drinking to be had across the Somos range!

Pairing guide
It’s always exciting to try a top-quality blended wine made from low-intervention grape varietals, and this red blend from Somos - which highlights Grenache, Touriga Nacional, and Carignan (among others) varietal grapes to fantastic effect. It’s a brilliant wine to enjoy alongside grilled and roasted meats, and will work really nicely with a slap-up roast chicken dinner. It’s also a good option for tomato-based Indian curries, spicy tomato pasta dishes, ratatouille, and braised beef. Yum!
