Peppered with spices. this 2021 Reserve Shiraz displays the buxom nature of the famed Barossa fruit. Crushed black pepper and caraway seeds are soaked in plum juice, mulberry and graphite. The palate lifts with energetic acidity and a bluer fruit spectrum, blueberries and violets abound. The glossy but taut texture is what shines in this wine – plenty to think about and enjoy. Drink with lamb chops and sweet peppers.
