About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaThis Cellar Release Double Barrel Shiraz has a full and generous palate with a beguiling mix of sweet red fruits and dark chocolate indicative of its origins as Barossa Shiraz. Subtle toasty vanillin derives from aging in traditional French and American oak wine barrels. The careful use of aged Scotch whisky barrels for finishing has added complex nuances of almond-husks and also softened the dense tannins to yield an incredible smoothness.

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.

Generous ripe red fruit and black cherry freshness. Age has really benefitted the wine. The barrel ageing has given the wine an integrated complexity and smoothness.

The bouquet is particularly fragrant, with plum, all spice and licorice aromas; the palate is no more than light- to medium-bodied, but does have very good mouthfeel and persistence; indeed, it seems to have done away with the need for tannin support, and the oak impact is minimal. Ready to roll right now.
