Curator Hamlets Barossa Shiraz 2021

 Fruit for this wine is sourced from throughout the Barossa Valley. Fermentation in open top tanks with hand plunging two or three times each day for 8 to 10 days. Basket pressing, blending and then transferred to older American and French oak for a year. Much to like here. Crimson red. The nose is a rather lovely rich, earthy style with dark berries and red fruits mixing. A wine full of flavour showing chocolate, coffee grinds, cocoa powder, black fruits, bay leaves and licorice. Big and powerful, there is good concentration throughout and decent length plus very fine tannins. Enjoy this over the next four to eight years.
