Alcohol/vol 14.5%
Inky red in colour with purple hues at the rim. Dense blackberry and plum fruits dominate the nose with five spice, smoke and dark chocolate showing through. A rich and generous palate showcases all the quintessential traits of Barossa Shiraz. Ripe black plum, black pepper and liquorice in abundance, supported by integrated and complex oak characters. The wine is plush and mouth filling, with long savoury tannins adding structure to the palate. Destined to be a long- lived vintage that will reward cellaring but can also be enjoyed now for it's vibrant fruit expression.

This wine has all the hallmarks of South Aussie Shiraz. It offers plump plum, cherry, chocolate, black olive and peppercorn notes, with a dusty, Aussie bush-scrub element. The palate is less expressive, with a riper feel. Acidity feels a little forced and edgy, and grainy, savory tannins are drying. The alcohol shows here, too.

The 2019 Shotfire Shiraz is infused with sweet American oak, and it shows the warm, low-yielding 2019 vintage in all its densely compacted glory. This is a savory, resinous rendition of the wine, and it will please those who love the warm embrace of oak and alcohol.
