Rosily Shiraz 2022

Shiraz from Margaret River is a vinous diptych to Barossa Valley – two unique pieces of art that collectively make the world a better place. A 14% alcohol, medium bodied, almost Merlot-esque Shiraz – is an area more people need to venture. Perfumed in what can only be described as the five flavour elements – sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami. Respectively, a medley of carob, prosciutto, black plum, rhubarb and soy. Slight, yet buoyant, the wine has appealing juiciness and a puckering acidity like that of early picked raspberries. Cherry cola, vanilla and white pepper notes ride along silty tannins to a dash of closing Angostura bitters.
