Charles Melton

Charles Melton is a Barossa producer known for Grenache, Shiraz and traditional regional blends, particularly the Nine Popes - one of Australia's earliest GSM-style wines. The style is generous, perfumed and savoury rather than overripe.

The wines suit lamb, beef, barbecue and slow-cooked dishes, and several of the better bottles reward proper cellaring. A good fit for customers wanting classical Barossa character.
