Shaw & Smith Shiraz 2021

There are good reasons why this wine is found on the most coveted wine lists, in great wine bars and collectors’ cellars as it is a wine that can be counted upon to provide the elegance of cool climate fruit with plenty of structure and drinking appeal. Sourced from Balhannah and the Central Adelaide Hills, it’s full of wild purple florals, fat juicy mulberries (the ones at the top of the tree, just out of reach), blueberries and dark chocolate shavings. Hints of vanilla pod and cardamom then come through with soft, svelte tannins to finish. It’s indulgent and always a pleasure to drink. Pair with chipotle pulled pork tacos.
