Other Observations

Deep ruby in the glass with flashes of purple, this Shiraz delivers classic aromas of plum, blackberry and vanilla, alongside a gentle spice that hints at oak ageing. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward, brimming with dark berries, black cherry and a touch of mocha, finishing soft, smooth, and satisfyingly round. With gentle acidity and silky tannins, it’s a crowd-pleaser from the first sip to the last.
