Passel Estate Shiraz 2020

The wine is still so youthful, with lifted, spiced exotic plums and savoury pepper tones, I am thinking warmed blueberry pie. A medium bodied style with lovely Shiraz spice, green peppercorns and structured chalky tannins. Juicy acid mops up the smoked meats and the finish is fresh and lively.
