Tasting Notes

A classic expression of Great Western Shiraz, showcasing both vibrancy and elegance. Medium-bodied with bright red fruit characters of red plum skin and cherry, the palate unfolds with a distinctive layer of pepper spice across the mid-palate. Fine, toasty tannins and linear acidity provide structure and freshness, leading to a balanced and persistent finish. Approachable now for its lively fruit profile, yet capable of gaining complexity over time.
