Golden Amrita Single Estate Shiraz 2020

Winemaker Kym Milne MW has made a selection from the best lots from their Greenock Vineyard from the 2020 vintage. He has dialed back the oak from past vintages, where it was almost all new American, to around 50% new and included some French oak. He has also reduced the alcohol a smidge, although it still sits at 14.5%. Under cork. The result remains a classic, full force Barossa Shiraz, although one with finesse. It is near black in colour, with notes of plums, cassis, blackberries and coffee beans. There is impressive extract here and serious intensity with excellent length. A powerful wine and yet one showing refinement, with bright acidity and cushiony tannins. Surely, a fifteen year proposition.
