Ripe, robust, rich and ridiculously good for the price, the 2021 Lu Lu Shiraz is vibrant with aromas of fruits-of-the-forest blackberries, blueberries and redcurrants, lilac florals and creamy vanilla notes. The wine is sturdy with fruit intensity and grippy, savoury tannins and has a gorgeously chunky finish.
