Austins & Co
Cool Climate And Warmest of Welcomes Shiraz
Geelong, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Hands up if you love cool-climate Shiraz? Compared to warm-climate Shiraz, you’ll find it lighter. Plus I find it oh so approachable too.
This cool-climate 2017 Shiraz hails from Geelong in Victoria and is made by @austinswines. A big thanks to the Austin’s team for sending this sample my way, my tasting team had great fun trying it and helping me write the note.
Before I get stuck into the tasting note, here’s a bit more about the wine:
🍷 The Austin’s Shiraz vines are from a clone imported in 1832 and are now 20 years old
🍷 The grapes are hand-picked
🍷 The wine is matured in French oak and only the best barrels are blended to produce this wine
🍷 It will age - the winery recommends to drink it now - 2029
Here’s our tasting note:
It’s a deep red with purple tinges on the eye. The nose is full of juicy boysenberries, vanilla oak, plums, leather and peppers. While in the mouth those berries from through with a hint of coffee and dried tobacco too. It ends with a nice lingering finish 👌
This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!
