Bethany First Village Shiraz 2022 (Barossa Valley)

The Bethany First Village Shiraz 2022 boasts a deep, dark black/purple colour with purple highlights. Notes of dense dark berry fruits, cherries, and blackberries dominate the aroma, accompanied by hints of sandy earth, cayenne spice, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is voluptuous and well-balanced, with strong drive and structure. The intense cherry and berry flavours burst forward and linger throughout the full length of the palate, leaving behind a satisfying coating of dark cacao chocolate fruit and texture. Finely-grained, silky tannins provide a solid framework for the wine, giving it shape, length, and structure. Overall, this is an elegant wine with impressive power and length, and a subtle finish enhanced by notes of cinnamon and oak.
