Dense and inky red in color with vibrant purple at the rim. This classic Barossa Shiraz shows enticing ripe black cherry, Satsuma plum and blackberry on the nose, with baking spices and gentle oak in support. The palate is round and plush with dark berries, liquorice, dark chocolate, and ripe plum in abundance. Fine tannins and hints of savoury oak, lead to a classic, long finishing style. Delicious now but will drink exceedingly well for years to come.

The chunky 2021 Shiraz Shotfire opens with broad aromas of old-fashioned blackberry conserve, licorice and slaty complexity, with a toasty oak backbone. Surprisingly tannic, with chewy textures matched by chocolate-dipped plum flavors, this dense style would reward a couple of years in the cellar to settle into its groove.
