Shiraz! A truly captivating red wine variety, especially here in Australia where it has found a home. Often referred to as Syrah in other parts of the world (most notably its birthplace, the Rhône Valley in France), Shiraz in Australia has developed its own distinct personality.
It is a wine that bursts forth with bold and generous dark fruit flavours. Think ripe blackberries, juicy plums, and sometimes even a hint of dark cherry. Depending on the region and the winemaker's touch, you might also discover layers of warm spice like black pepper, clove, and even a whisper of licorice. Some examples, particularly those with a bit of oak ageing, can offer nuances of chocolate, vanilla, or a subtle smokiness.
The palate is abundant with pretty, bright and fresh blue fruits and a rich middle palate displaying plum and red cherries. The wine finishes fruit-driven, well supported by subtle toasty oak. A long tannin structure throughout gives an excellent backbone to this food friendly style of Barossa Shiraz.
