Millton Te Arai Red 2023 (6x750ml)

Vinted primarily from syrah, with a splash of malbec adding some extra palate depth and some darker fruit flavours, this is a lovely example of East Coast red that's been vinted as a lightly spicy 'pleasure wine.' Now well under $20 as part of this 'retirement clearance' Te Arai Red defies this asking price and is a typically well-made, thoughtfully conceived wine from Millton. Fruit was hand harvested and this 2023 release enjoyed 18 months in French oak post fermentation. If you're looking for a not too heavy / not too light red wine option for the remainder of summer 2026, this lovely wine is a seriously attractive option. Climb in.
