O’Leary Walker Clare Valley Polish Hill River Armagh Shiraz 2023

Sourced from the Clare Valley sub-regions of Polish Hill River and Armagh, the batches are fermented separately with maturation for a year and a half in French oak, 20% of it new. An opaque maroon colour, the wine has a most evocative nose with notes of dried herbs, dark berries, plums, black cherries, kirsch and aniseed. Early complexity is evident. This is a wine of balance, finesse and yet power, quite a complete style. The satiny texture continues right through to a long and lingering finish with silky tannins. It will drink impressively for at least the next fifteen years. Great value.
