Reserve Shiraz 2021

Deep garnet in colour. The nose offers layered aromas of cured meats and Christmas spice, alongside stewed black fruits, cloves, black pepper, old leather, and cigar box. The palate opens plush and generous, with sweet-fruited plum and wild hedgerow berries supported by notes of cinnamon spice. The oak is seamlessly integrated, adding complexity without overshadowing the fruit, while ripe, finely textured tannins provide structure and depth. Full-flavoured and comforting, the wine carries through to a dry, persistent finish, lingering with notes of spice, tobacco dust, and stewed prunes.

Matured for 60 months in French and Hungarian oak, in a combination of 75% new and 25% used barrels.

Serve with slow-braised beef short ribs, grilled lamb cutlets with rosemary and garlic, venison with a berry reduction, smoked brisket or BBQ beef, aged hard cheeses, or dark chocolate mousse.
