Wolf Blass Platinum Label Barossa Valley Medlands Vineyard Shiraz 2021

The Medlands Vineyard is situated at Dorrien on ancient soils that form the Barossa Valley floor. It’s home to warm conditions well-suited to showcasing typically bold, plush Barossa shiraz. Platinum brings those Barossan qualities to the glass. It’s packed in fine detail, too, with a focused core of blood plum, mulberry, black fruits, dried herbs and cedary oak with background notes of earth, leather and the gentlest application of spice. Do not expect a big, chunky Shiraz, this is more streamlined and refined by what many might consider typical Barossa standards. Here, the role of fine tannins is emphasised, gracing, bracing the fruit and producing a lasting impression of some elegance. Has time on its side.
