Bimbadgen Estate First Terrain Shiraz 2021

From McLaren Vale fruit, the wine enjoyed a ten day ferment, before fourteen months maturing in French oak barriques. Wonderful that we are still seeing wines from the brilliant 2021 vintage, and that helps to make this really stunning buying. An inky dark maroon, this is very much an earthy and savoury style. Slightly rustic – always a feature which divides the crowd, with many loving that character, others not quite so much. If you do enjoy it, this wine is for you. Dry herbs, black fruits, plums, raspberries, cloves, soy, warm earth and mushrooms. A wine of medium length and supple texture, there are fine, abundant, powdery tannins. For drinking over the next four to six years.
