TASTING NOTES FOR Bremerton Batonnage Shiraz Malbec Langhorne Creek South Australia 2021

🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson with a dark ruby core. Rich and vibrant, showing excellent depth and intensity.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and perfumed, revealing violet, red berry fruits and subtle spice.
Hints of white pepper, floral notes and gentle oak add complexity and elegance.

👅 Palate
Medium to full-bodied, delivering juicy red fruits, plum and dark cherry.
A lovely interplay of red fruit and white spice sits at the core, supported by fine French oak and excellent varietal purity.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky and textural, with a creamy mid-palate from the bâtonnage technique.
Fine tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long, smooth finish with lingering spice and savoury notes.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern, textural Langhorne Creek blend—rich yet elegant, with lifted aromatics and a polished structure.
Combines Shiraz power with Malbec perfume and softness, resulting in a beautifully balanced and food-friendly red.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with slow-cooked lamb, osso buco, grilled meats or rich pasta dishes.
Also excellent with charcuterie and aged cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A standout, slightly more premium blend with real texture and personality.
Ideal for a mixed dozen when you want something a little different—silky, spicy and seriously enjoyable.
