Shaw Wines Shiraz 2019

Harvesting of their low-yielding, spur-pruned vines is done in the coolest parts of the evening to protect the fruit. Fermentation occurs on skins in open top fermenters, before the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for the next 22 months. 

An appealing mix of purple and violet. The nose offers lovely floral notes, mulberries, red cherries and spices. This is aromatic and fresh and entrancing. There is much to like here – fresh, balanced and elegant with soft acidity carrying the flavours. A wine of mid-length but what wins the day here is the delicious range of flavours – lovely berry fruit notes especially. This should drink well over the next 4 to 6 years and probably more, and is more compelling evidence that Shiraz really can be a star in the Murrumbateman region.
