The Clare component gives the dark fruit a lift of sage and oregano, a savoury detail that makes this generous red especially good with food from the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep garnet in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackberry, dark chocolate and sweet cherry lead.

Fine tannins give the wine shape, and the darker fruit has room to come through as it opens in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark fruit and herbs linger, with a smoky edge that works well with food from the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairing \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe around 16–18°C with chargrilled steak or lamb rubbed with rosemary and cracked pepper. The char on the meat picks up the wine’s smoky edge, and the herbs echo its savoury notes. For a meat-free option, try grilled field mushrooms with thyme and a spoonful of creamy polenta. The mushrooms bring out the savoury side of the Shiraz, while the polenta softens the impression of tannin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a slow-cooked option, serve it with beef short ribs and rosemary. The wine’s fine tannins suit the richness of the meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dark fruit and fine tannins make this Shiraz appealing to open now, particularly alongside a hearty meal. Those who enjoy a more savoury, developed expression of Shiraz may prefer to give it additional time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Melton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67666556780793,"sku":"9331832000441-2023","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/6820\/0441\/files\/charles-melton-father-in-law-shiraz-2023-barossa-valley.webp?v=1794446847","url":"https:\/\/winesellersdirect.com.au\/products\/charles-melton-the-father-in-law-shiraz-2023","provider":"Wine Sellers Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
