Hesketh Midday Somewhere Shiraz 2023

This is one of the most consistent value for money Shiraz in the country. I first tasted it several years ago, and subsequent vintages have not disappointed. It’s medium bodied and flavoursome with a bright, energetic palate of plummy cherry fruits supported by some nice oak integration and fine chalky tannins. A nice bowl of pasta beckons.
