Thorn ClarkeShotfire Quartage 2012
About this product
Deep red with a purple hue, the 2012 Shotfire Quartage has lifted aromas of cassis, plum, dried thyme, subtle eucalyptus and spicy oak. The palate doesn't disappoint with a multitude of flavours melding together to form the wines flavour. On release the tannins for the fruit and oak are firm and long, the generosity of fruit is balanced by an elegance provided by natural acidity. The wine is full bodied and complete.

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.

Shotfire - sure fire!. Discover what happens to good Barossa Shiraz given the right cellaring. Always good (2012 was a cracking vintage in the Barossa), the maturation process has introduced another layer of complexity to "buddy up" with the classic Barossa notes already present. Cedar and well-worn leather characters add warmth and depth to the rich chocolatey, plum and dark berry melange. The finish is comfortably smooth and long. At its peak now, and for a couple more years.
