MMAD Shiraz 2022

Approximately one third whole bunches for this amiable vintage. Blackberry, Bing cherries and earthy Swiss Chard stem. Caper and olive leaf, black sesame and wattleseed. Allspice and pepperberry. Gritty sandstone tannins that funnel down the middle palate. Amaro bitters and coffee beans on the finish. Acidity is taut and terrific, like the snap of a Speedo elastic. It’s full of vigor and life and is drinking well now and will cellar 3-6 years down the track. Serve beside grilled lamb chops and herb butter.
