The Pirate Blend. Now this is a wine with a lot of personality and something very different from your average Margaret River blend.
It is comprised of three Portuguese native varieties inspired by Nic's time making wines in Portugal: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cao and Sousao, all three of these characters offer something a little different to the party.
The bottle looks like it has just been brought up from below deck and the wine itself feels raw and untamed, but underneath it all is some serious winemaking and a clear vision which has been realised brilliantly by Peterkin.
Want to see what is on the cutting edge of Margaret River? The Pirate Blend is it!
"The combo of touriga nacional 65%, tinta cao 32% and the 3% splash of souzao makes for an approachable and excellent red for pirates or anyone else for that matter. These varieties are rare in Margaret River, yet Nic Peterkin sources them off a 40-year-old site in Yallingup. It’s such a good wine, unpretentious, a little earthy, a little rustic, with lots of dark fruit, cocoa, currants, sumac and fresh herbs in the mix. Full bodied and juicy, with grainy, pomace-like tannins plus bright acidity, which means this needs hearty fare as a friend."
