230 dozen Grosset Nereus is inspired by the classic Sicilian combination of grape varieties shiraz and nero d’avola. It has taken five vintages to establish the ‘Nereus style’. Originally intended as a weighty shiraz with a brightness and more linear palate coming from the nero d’avola, this 2021 vintage is confirmation that succulence, silkiness and drinkability are achievable with this blend. While unexpected, the result is wonderfully appealing. In 2021, Grosset Nereus has quietly briary aromatics which give it definition. There are succulent blackberry bramble flavours and a slinky silkiness on the mid-palate. While medium-bodied, it has attractive intensity and a finish that is smooth and gently lingering. In Greek mythology, Nereus is the son of Pontus and Gaia (the god of the sea and the goddess of the earth) and hence the relationship to Grosset's other wines and the earth. This link is strengthened by the fact that this blend of shiraz and nero d'avola is a traditional Sicilian style, hence 'Nereus' the Sea God. It has been biodynamically produced.

94/100
Very bright and deep purple-red colour, looking youthful and fresh; the bouquet is likewise, with bright red fruits and spices, nutmeg uppermost, with a bright and lively palate that seems extra energetic and fresh. The tannins are measured and supply the right amount of grip, Delicious. (90% shiraz; 230 dozen made) 04 MAR 2023
