Lou Miranda Fierce III Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

The Shiraz for this wine was grown in the southern Barossa, on vineyards at Rowland Flat and Lyndoch, some vines planted as far back as 1995. The wine spent 28 months maturing in American oak, 40% of which was new. The colour here is an inky dark purple and the nose is redolent with big, bold black cherries, supported by truffles, dried herbs, bay leaves, mulberries, soy, aniseed, blackberries and a hint of graphite. The oak is well handled and there is serious length to this wine, with juicy acidity, good concentration and fine tannins. A joy for the next eight years.
