Philosophy:
Shiraz has gone from being a workhorse backbone to many fortifieds in years gone by, to being one of the great success stories of the modern wine making era. Perhaps nowhere as consistently as in the Barossa. Although some muttering can be heard that this star has peaked and that perhaps the gloss is wearing a little thin.. I have to say I completely disagree! Barossa Shiraz has now (just this minute) entered it's "interesting" stage and now more than ever before Barossa Shiraz has something Delicious to say to your mouth!
Colour:
Deep red with hints of purple lingering around the meniscus.
Nose:
Milk chocolate over pure ‘Barossa plums’ with red liquorice and a hint of char,. youthful briar notes and hints of fragrant tea give a
A pretty and inviting nose
Palate:
Ripe plums and red summer berries with lifted sour Cherry undertones, charry yeasty richness overlaid with red strap liquorice, milk chocolate, some earthiness and leather. The fine elegant tannins eventually run into a long lingering savory finish.
Purchase:
3 bottle case.
