Tasting Notes
The 2020 Shiraz is rich and expressive, with an initial burst of brambles and dark blue and black fruits. Layers of brooding dark fruit, peppery spice, and savoury notes unfold on the palate, framed by fine oak that adds depth and complexity. The sinewy tannins pull the wine through to a long, moreish finish, providing a satisfying and lingering experience. The wine’s harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and oak makes it a truly captivating and enjoyable Shiraz, perfect for both immediate enjoyment and further ageing.
