Meaty yet elegant. Broad on the palate yet well-reined in by focused acidity. 12.9% Shiraz...breaking new ground in Australia.

After years of being in an abusive Australian relationship it is SOOOO refreshing to find a nurturing, elegant Shiraz like this! 12.9% .....no shit! Laser acidity, concentrated raspberry cordial, wild musk, wet leather layered with sweet pea and exotic euca-fricking-lyptis lollipop! Wooo weeee! More? Yes please!
