John Duval Plexus SGM 2017
From the renowned John Duval Wines in Barossa Valley, Australia, the Plexus SGM 2017 is a sophisticated blend of 50% Shiraz, 30% Grenache, and 20% Mourvèdre. Sourced from old vines on sandy and clay soils in Marananga and Lyndoch, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 15 months in French oak hogsheads, it offers a deep ruby hue and vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A bold, refined red with rich dark fruit and spicy elegance, showcasing Barossa’s terroir.
The nose reveals blackberry, plum, and red cherry, with hints of black pepper, graphite, and spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and balanced, with vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and a long, mineral finish.
Awards and Accolades
The 2017 Plexus SGM earned 93 points from James Suckling for its concentrated fruit and spicy finesse.
