🍷 Appearance
• Deep dark red colour with purple edges — visually rich and vibrant in the glass.
👃 Aromas / Nose
• Blackcurrant and ripe plum fruit aromas form the core of the bouquet.
• Lifted spice notes — subtle hints of pepper and warm spice add complexity and drive interest.
👄 Palate / Flavour
• Medium-full to full-bodied palate with deep red fruit flavours — plum and dark berries are prominent.
• A bevy of spice and Chinese five-spice-like notes threads through the fruit, giving depth and savoury lift.
• Soft, fine tannins lend structure and persistence without heaviness.
• Elegant weight on the mid-palate — fruit and spice wrap around the palate seamlessly.
🍷 Finish & Style
• Mouth-coating and enduring finish, with the rich fruit and spice lingering comfortably.
• This is a rich yet balanced cool-climate Shiraz, offering approachable fruit with a hint of complexity ideal for drinking now or over the next few years.
Food pairing: Excellent with grilled steak, roast lamb, barbecued ribs or hearty beef casseroles — the wine’s spice and tannin stand up well to savory, rich mains.
