Review by Jane Masters, UK Master of Wine: ““Full of chocolate and spices with a touch of smoke and green leaf, this is a medium-bodied Shiraz. Grapes were grown mainly in the Riverland with some Langhorne Creek and Currency Creek fruit. A small amount of Petit Verdot was added, giving a firm slightly austere acidity with lingering flavours of bitter cherries and green leaf” – RRP: $17/bottle (screwcap)
VINTAGE: The start of the 2020 growing season was dry with warmer than average temperatures. Heat and wind during flowering led to lower fruit set and subsequently lower yields at harvest. The temperatures became milder from late January, allowing the vines to recover and helping maintain acidity. Although crops were down considerably this vintage, the quality has been fantastic.
STORY: The quintessential Australian red. This Shiraz is an elegant fruit-driven style.
NOSE: The nose displays notes of plums, pepper, and a hint of dark cherries.
PALATE: The palate is elegant with great flavours of plums, cherries, and black pepper, finishing delightfully smooth and lingering.
CELLARING: Drink Now to 2025.
