Charred tomatoes, juicy raspberries, cherries and plums lead the charge with char and dark chocolate adding a darker, savoury dimension. A curious lick of red capsicum and fish sauce makes an appearance bringing a savoury twist that keeps you leaning in. A fine dabble of kirsch adds a little more intrigue.
There’s also an ever-so-faint dash of eucalypt, a gentle nod to the McLaren Vale bush landscape.
The mid-palate is juicy and generous with a soft, almost velvety feel before dusty, grippy tannins swoop in and take hold. They carry the wine through a long, moreish finish that keeps calling you back.
Fruit, savoury character and a little bushland personality, this is a McLaren Vale Shiraz with plenty to consider.
