A Shiraz that puts you in your happy place. It’s simply brimming with heart-warming flavour but – and it’s a big but – there is a lot more to this charmer. Look beyond the generous dark fruits, the plum, the earth, the liquorice and the chocolate and there’s a wine in total balance, right from the start of its life. This is important, both for immediate drinking pleasure should you choose, or for the longer journey you might have planned. That balance speaks volumes. So, too, the smooth run of generous flavour across the tongue, the even tannins in place which are impressively smooth and binding and the finish which stays with you.
