Felice Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

This excellent wine comes from right in the heart of Marananga, from vines that are now more than 100 years old. It picks up a lot of the characters of this excellent sub-region in the Barossa. There’s a hint of ironstone and dusty earth, complementing the delicious, full and generous fruit flavours. Loads of plum, licorice, dark chocolate, some dried herbs and that little bit of minerality provide tremendous complexity and interest. Yet it remains seamlessly structured and presented with silky fine tannins and fine-grain oak, really pulling it all together. It’s a pretty smart wine.
