Chateau Tanunda's Chorus is a masterful tribute to the classic Southern Rhône-style blend, reimagined in the sun-drenched soils of South Australia. The name 'Chorus' evokes the harmonious interplay of its three component varieties: Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Shiraz. In this liquid ensemble, Grenache provides bright, juicy red fruit and spice; Mourvèdre contributes earthy complexity, structure, and savory depth; while Shiraz binds them together with rich dark fruit and plush tannins. Sourced from selected vineyards across South Australia, this wine benefits from the region's ancient soils and warm climate. Chateau Tanunda employs traditional winemaking techniques, including gentle handling and open fermenters, to preserve the vibrant, expressive character of the fruit, resulting in a wine that is both deeply flavorful and elegantly balanced.
