This is from a vineyard at 480m in Clare so it is getting some cooler influences. It’s such a bright and beautiful shiraz, lifted with red fruits and a decent hit of spices and black pepper. It’s medium weight with such a high energy palate bouncing from the glass. The tight core of subtle oak and chalky tannins completes an excellent wine.
