Zephyrus Barossa Shiraz
Barossa, South Australia, Australia
The winner of the Downs Club Premium Red taste off from 41 masked Reds. Not my final choice but democracy prevailed by 4 votes to 3. This was in my final 3. A nice balance of sweet red fruits with some spice and hint of pepper. Balanced and smooth. Will cellar up to 10 years but overall a little too sweet for my palate. A quality producer in the Barossa who specialises in individual Cuvees of Shiraz from separate paddocks.

This classic smooth Australian Shiraz is faltering and pleasant. It has a deep purple color and delivers aromas of sweet orange peels, sweet spices, flowers, plums, vanilla and a touch of cedar wood, soft medium round body with smooth elegant tannins, light acidity and loads of fruit, it is a balanced and flattering wine with a delicious finish. My score 87, drink to 2023

Stern swirl, firm and crystal hugging. Very patient, defined drip forming like stallectites holding onto balloons. Unique because even though it seems heavy, it’s a soft and delicate Shiraz echoing Pinot.
Dense oaky scent with wafts of apples and soft black currant. Beautiful smooth first sip, like tasty velvet. A slow burn on those medium bodied tannins which develops harmoniously. Absolutely delectable from start to finish. It’s not over burdened or over powering, just there to be as beautiful as the west wind. A wonderful companion to tonight’s lamb roast.

The smoothest Shiraz I have had. Really enjoyed it.
