Pairs well with Beef
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazPairs well with BeefDeep magenta in colour, with a great vibrancy and brightness. A purple hue illuminates the wine. Dark ripe plum and Christmas pudding fruit and spices lift from the glass. Elements of forest berry fruits and seasoned cedar wood and
clove spice are present in the aromatics. A light pretty note of sage herb provides a pleasant sweetness. The palate is rich and ripe in all its characters. A touch of ground white pepper spice adds an element of edge to what is a perfectly
balanced wine. Generosity of fruit and firmness in the texture is defined by the rich grainy tannins. The wine has a density and richness yet is also elegant and refined. Chocolate and roasted chestnut sweetness rise through the finish to round out this wine. A Shiraz of this standing will benefit cellaring for 15+years, while still rewarding in its youth.

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.

This shiraz seems determined, on a scale from one to 10, to take things to 11. It's bold with fruit from the outset, all redcurrant and sweet plum, though almost as soon as it takes flight a crush of creamy, coffeed oak and associated spice notes rush in. It's a heady display, egged on by mint and peppercorn characters, though superfine tannin does a deft job at tapping it all into line. In truth it's just starting to hit its straps; it should unfurl regally over the next handful of years.
