Burge Family Winemakers Homestead Old Vine Shiraz Mataro 2021

Well, if you can get a wine of this quality for $40, you’re doing damn well. Cracking good season and a cracking good wine. The combination just works perfectly. Loads of sweet ripe berry offset by that dry, slightly earthy and savoury note of the Mataro. A lift on the nose delivers more red fruit with a raspberry nuance, but then the palate expresses itself with dark chocolate and spicy, savoury plumminess. And you’re getting a wine that will age for a long time.
