Dewey Station The Mars Express Shiraz 2021

A beautifully plump and plush Barossa Shiraz sourced from Altona and Ebenezer vineyards. The Ebenezer seems to bring that fine iron filings ferruginous character to the plush plummy characters. This is not a big Barossa Shiraz. In fact, the tannins are quite soft, and the mix of French and American oak includes only 14% new. Floral notes on the nose then the dark fruits laced with licorice and black olive emerge. Smooth with a chalky textural influence. Nice wine.
