🍷 Appearance
Deep crimson to inky purple in the glass with vibrant ruby edges. The colour shows excellent depth and concentration typical of Barossa Valley Shiraz.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Expressive aromatics of macerated plum, boysenberry and black cherry lift from the glass. Layers of spice, purple florals and hints of chocolate and ironstone add complexity while well-integrated oak sits subtly in the background.
👅 Palate
Rich and fruit-driven with flavours of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry flowing across the palate. Mid-palate layers reveal dark chocolate, savoury spice and gentle earthy undertones, delivering classic Barossa Shiraz intensity.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-to-full bodied with fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Oak maturation adds structure and polish while allowing the dark fruit core to remain the focus.
🔚 Finish
Long and satisfying with lingering dark berry fruit, spice and subtle cocoa notes, finishing smooth and well balanced.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Barossa Valley Shiraz—rich, generous and deeply flavoured. The wine highlights plush dark fruit, spice and silky tannins, showcasing the depth and warmth of Hentley Farm’s estate-grown fruit.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled rib-eye steak, roast lamb shoulder, barbecue meats, beef short ribs or slow-braised dishes.
Cheers
