About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazDalwhinnie is regarded as one of the best when it comes to cool climate Shiraz.

The 2005 is showing great fruit characteristics of plums, blackcurrant and figs with fine tannins and good oak integration.

Flooded with perfectly ripened plum and blackberry fruit seamlessly woven with oak and tannins; great mouthfeel, line and length.

This is the way a young Dalwhinnie shiraz should present. It’s a fine-boned, spicy, medium-weight and yet plush wine, full of dark cherried fruit, soy, cedarwood, mint and undergrowth, the finish of it refined and minerally. Composed, balanced, moderately oaked, perfumed and interesting, this is not a weighty wine, but it is an excellent one.
