Churchview The Bartondale Shiraz 2020

A superb example of how good Shiraz can be in Margaret River. Indeed, a wine which raises questions as to why Marg River Shiraz is not held in even higher regard. An appealing dark maroon, the wine offers gorgeous aromatics of cassis, violets, chocolate, cigar boxes, spices, soy, licorice and mocha. Hints of cold tea are intertwined throughout, creating a welcome modifying effect. The oak is beautifully integrated, while the structure is both seamless and focused, with very fine-grained tannins, excellent balance and impressive length. A wine for enjoying over the next ten to fifteen years.
