Brand & Sons Glenroy Shiraz 2021        

Glenroy is confident and well-rounded, like a warm handshake and a steady gaze. Here is a Shiraz both bold and inviting, leaning into savoury realms with notes of Worcestershire, peppered steak, cherry, plum and cedar oak. It offers good depth and volume of flavour, with a poised, balanced palate. The higher alcohol is expertly managed, lending comfort and warmth as Szechuan pepper and musky plum fold into baking spice and sweet oak. Tannins fasten everything together like cufflinks on this debonair Shiraz. A polished wine with a long, fine finish.
