Tasting Notes:
The 2017 Village Shiraz is characterised by ripe, expressive fruit, with flavours of dark berries and plums intertwined with savoury spice notes. The mid-palate is enriched by dusty tannins, which add structure and depth to the wine, creating a beautifully rounded mouthfeel. The fruit is well-supported by a subtle spiciness, which lingers through to the finish, where the tannins and fruit come together in a smooth, balanced conclusion. This Shiraz is a true reflection of its vintage, offering a wine of substance and finesse that will continue to evolve with age.
