Gomersal Wines Estate Shiraz 2018

The fruit for the Estate Shiraz comes from their Gomersal Vineyard in the Barossa Valley with 12 days fermenting on skins and then a year and a half maturing in new French oak hogsheads. Barrel selection led to 705 six-packs. Again, cracking value and a real step up. A superb vintage which now has a few years under its belt, all adding to the complexity. Opaque magenta, the nose gives black fruits, mocha, dry herbs, chocolate, espresso and cassis. A little sweet oak is evident as well. This is beautifully structured, very long with silky cashmere tannins. There is focus, weight, balance and length here. Utterly delicious, to enjoy over the next eight to twelve years.
