Curtis Terra Rossa Shiraz 2024

An early example of the quality of the recent 2024 vintage, this McLaren Vale Shiraz is a blood red hue, verging on the opaque. The nose gives us notes of bay leaves, raspberries, aniseed, warm earth, leather, chocolate, smoked meats, red fruits and soy. A little more savoury than some and all the more attractive because of it. There is also a hint of toastiness here. The wine is well balanced, of medium length and with fine tannins. For enjoying over the next three to five years – longer if one wished.
