Curtis
Cavaliere McLaren Vale Shiraz
McLaren Vale, Fleurieu, South Australia, Australia
Did you know Shiraz is the most widely planted and best known red grape variety in Australia? But not only that, Australia is the home to the oldest Shiraz vines still in production in the world with vineyards dating back to 1843 ‼️ Stats via #wineaustralia
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was spoilt by Curtis Wines who recently sent me this sample of their 2016 Cavaliere Shiraz from McLaren Vale (SA). The Shiraz vines for this wine are 60 years old 🍇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The #KateSpade bag wasn’t included 😜 Mr Spittoon actually got that for me a couple of years ago without any help picking it out - he has good taste!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My tasting note 📝: It’s a deep purple-red colour in the glass with sweet and smoky notes on the nose alongside hints of berries and a whiff of apricots. In the mouth it’s nutty, smooth, berry filled and has fine elegant black tea tannins. A joy to drink 🍷
