Wits End Shiraz 2021

A pleasing and easy drinking Shiraz, made from Riverland fruit, blended with some McLaren Vale Shiraz. The winemaker is Renae Hirsch, perhaps better known for her work at such wineries as Chalk Hill and Alpha Crucis. This might be a cheapie, but it is delicious drinking, at a level well above its price. Red/purple in colour, the nose is all cherries and rose petals with an underlying hint of licorice. Young and fresh, with a fleshy palate, this is a lighter bodied Shiraz, one which is thoroughly enjoyable drinking today. Soft and seamless although there is a little grip, good acidity and notes of coffee grinds emerging on the palate. Drink over the next year or two.
