You could have a lot of fun with this plummy, fresh, fruit forward, lighter bodied young Shiraz. It calls out for an afternoon with friends, no pressure other than to enjoy. It looks to the table and a platter of charcuterie and crunchy bread – delightful. It might be described as lighter dry red in style but let’s not bandy labels about. This is about the now, the cherries, berries and plums, the sweet spices and the earthy nuance rolled into one lively wine. Drink now and enjoy the energy and freshness.
