About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazEden Valley, AustraliaSorby Adams The Thing Shiraz 2008 is their top of the line shiraz sourced from the fertile fields of Eden Valley. Deep red brick in colour with opulent aromas of macerated plums, cassis and wild cherry. A splash of cranberry opens up the aromatic profile for the flavours of spice, clove, dark chocolate and cinnamon to fully emerge. The finish is soft, with hints of espresso, vanilla and French oak. Perfect match for those winter roasts.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

The vineyard was planted by Pastor Franz Julius Lehmann in 1932 in the middle of The Depression. The one odd feature of the wine is a recently inserted cork, suggesting the wine has spent a long time in oak, and possibly stainless steel. Black fruits, mocha and licorice all combine to deliver an emphatic message.
