2003 MadFish Carnelian Reviews

US grape genius Professor Harold Olmo bred this variety in 1972. It has turned up in the Leston vineyard of Howard Park, owner of MadFish ? in Margaret River. An intense red, somewhere between cabernet franc, tempranillo and touriga. Certain to perform beautifully with long cellaring. An incredible find.

Wow! A completely new grape discovered in WA, "carnelian". Some old, unknown vines got the CSI treatment to confirm the identity. Good gear too. Carna carna, carna, carna, carna, carnelian.
