Tasting Notes:

In the glass, this Shiraz presents a deep, vibrant red hue, indicating the richness that lies ahead. The nose offers an alluring mix of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, complemented by floral violet, fragrant baking spices, and a touch of cedar wood. These aromas immediately captivate the senses, setting the stage for a rich and complex experience.

On the palate, the wine reveals bold and intense flavours of blackberry, mulberry, and dark chocolate, seamlessly interwoven with black pepper, savoury herbs, and a dash of spice. The wine’s velvety tannins are perfectly integrated, creating a smooth, luxurious texture, while the oak influences add layers of depth and richness. The finish is long and chewy, with a chalky texture and a subtle touch of saltiness, enhancing the wine’s complexity and providing balance.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

  • Juicy Steaks: Pairs perfectly with a medium-rare steak, where the wine’s richness complements the savoury notes of the meat.
  • Slow-Cooked Lamb: Ideal with slow-cooked lamb, where the complex flavours of the wine elevate the tenderness of the dish.
  • Roasted Vegetables: Enjoy with roasted root vegetables or grilled vegetables for a fantastic contrast to the wine’s boldness.
  • Aged Cheeses: A great match with aged cheeses like Gruyère, Manchego, or a well-matured cheddar, where the wine’s complexity enhances the cheese’s flavours.
