Paisley Maeve Shiraz 2021

In my experience, the 2021 vintage in the Barossa was one for the ages. Simply stunning wines have emerged, and this one is right up there. Typical of this vintage, it delivers its fruit package and flavour intensity with such balance and poise, and more in the medium- to full-bodied zone. Plenty of those plummy dark berry characters on the nose, a little spice and cocoa, and then the palate packs it all together with a tightly wound core surrounded by fleshier fruit. The tannins are quite fine but play an important part, and the oak is precisely balanced. The most complete wine, capturing all that is good in the Barossa.
