One Road
South Australia & Heathcote Shiraz
South Australia, Australia
Recently on the blog I shared my experiences tasting some of the new ALDI wine range which you can read about here: travellingcorkscrew.com.au/blog/aldi-wine-and-liquor
I’ll also be sharing my notes here, so let’s get stuck in...
One Road South Australian Heathcote Shiraz 2015, $6.99
So this Aussie Shiraz recently won Best Value Shiraz under $20 at the 2017 Melbourne International Wine Competition. I have consumed a lot of Shiraz recently, and to be honest, I wasn’t wowed by this one. It was drinkable yes, and it’s definitely affordable at $7 but to be honest I wouldn’t buy it.
It’s a deep red-purple colour on the eye. The nose evokes thoughts of chocolate covered liquorice, cherries and vanilla sugar. In the mouth it’s easy drinking with a medium to light body and plenty of fruitiness with Ribena nuances. It’s uncomplicated and I’d suggest it as a very palate friendly tipple for those on a budget and/or starting out on drinking red wine due to its extremely light and fruity nature.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #sample #tcweekdaywine #tctastingnotes
