CURTIS FAMILY VINEYARDS Limited Series Shiraz, McLaren Vale

This is powerful and substantial with grace and sophistication; the perfumed bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, cake spice, toasty oak and mocha characters, followed by a robust palate offering wonderfully layered mouthfeel with plush texture and velvety tannins, making it hugely appealing. 

PIRRAMIMMA Trademark Shiraz, McLaren Vale

A plush and powerful Shiraz from McLaren Vale that captures the Pirramimma style with real polish. An enticing mix of dark fruits on the nose with a little blue fruit, spice and vanilla bean. The palate is thick and dense with a delicious richness. Nicely weighted oak works into the mix while the tannins are fine but firm, providing that spinal definition and structure.  

Dead Arm Shiraz

Bright fruit characters are evident immediately from the first engagement. On the nose, savoury spicy plum and dried herb and sage combination burst open. And then a palate that is deeply intense and opulently smooth starts to reveal its best qualities. Has a chalky dusty thread with a little crushed rock influence. It’s quite dry on the finish after the richness of the middle palate.
