Description

Bryan Martin has a knack for turning classic blends on their head, and this Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre is a perfect example. Rather than chasing sheer power, he’s built a mid-weight red that’s fragrant, supple and impossible not to enjoy.

The fruit comes from the Hilltops and Murrumbateman, with a splash of Mourvèdre from Hilltops. The result is a wine that feels complete: lifted and perfumed, showing red and dark fruits, spice, and that silky Ravensworth texture we can’t get enough of.

It’s a Rhône-inspired blend but very much stamped with Bryan’s style – lighter on its feet, balanced, and made for the table. Drink it young, while it’s bright and juicy, or give it a few years to build a little more depth.

Another smart, delicious addition to the Ravensworth Regional range, and one we’ll be reaching for often.

Best GSM blend from the 2025 Young Gun of Wine Deep-dive into southern Rhone blends

Our second version of this Rhone red blend. 2023 was a very long, slow ripening year that we ended up still getting fruit in late May.

These three varieties go so well together, lead by Shiraz and Grenache from Hilltops and Murrumbateman, spiked with Mourvèdre from Hilltops its the complete wine, fragrant, medium weight such a joy to sit on

Ravensworth

Bryan Martin is one of the most creative and inquisitive winemakers we've ever met. After leaving his position as winemaker alongside Tim Kirk at Canberra regional flagbearer, Clonakilla, Bryan went full steam in on his own label Ravensworth, which has firmly hit cult status amongst collectors.

He and his wife Jocelyn have a beautiful property outside of Murrumbateman which is home to all of their excellent Estate wines and Bryan also searches surrounding vineyards and out to the Hilltops region to compile his excellent value Regional series of wines. Sustainability and an unwavering commitment to quality across the board underpin the entire operation at Ravensworth. Perhaps best known for his benchmark Shiraz Viognier and textural Rieslings, Bryan is also arguably the country's best producer of Sangiovese and is a true master of the dark art of skin-contact whites.

Bryan embodies everything we love about small artisanal Australian producers. He is humble, irreverent, committed to the pursuit of excellence and always looking to explore. Quite simply, if you see a Ravensworth wine anywhere, you should buy it.
