Avondale Julia 2006

Name: Avondale Julia 2006
Brand: Avondale
SKU: 22423

Beautiful fruit and mineral flavours on the nose, with the many different varietals enhancing the nose. This makes for a complex, if not classic surprise on the palate, with unsuspecting finesse and a long aftertaste.

THE NAME

When this wine was first made in 1999 as Avondale Dry Red, it scooped up a double gold medal Veritas award. The family felt that 'dry red' did not do justice to the wine, so it was renamed after owner John Grieve's mother, Julia.
