Lou Miranda Fierce III Shiraz 2019

This is a traditional Barossa style of shiraz. Primarily it’s based on fully ripe fruit and then extended time in American oak. In some ways a throw-back to the older style that served the Barossa so well for decades. In fact, it gets 29 months in used oak, which appears to be fundamental in ensuring a balanced, integrated finished wine. Loads of dark chocolate and cloves with a subtle dried herbs character. Thickish tannins and neatly managed oak come together to hold the wine through to its long finish.
