Barossa blood red colour with a purple hue. On the nose, super blackberries and pure unadulterated 90% Cocoa chocolate. Black plums, macerated raspberry with hints of cracked pepper and brambly spice. Generous dark fruits on the palate, a full and frank Shiraz start. Classic Barossa. Generous, flavoursome with sweet blackberry pie and dark, dry cocoa mouth feel. The after palate begins with sweet berry fruit then tightens up with fine fruit and oak tannin. Sweet Christmas spice cuts through the hints of jamminess. On the finish, youthful austerity as you would expect from such a classic, old-school Shiraz. We imagine drinking this wine with hard local cheeses the cheese is optional.
