Scotchmans Hill Shiraz 2021 (Bellarine Peninsula)

Scotchmans Hill Shiraz 2021 vintage is a vibrant and complex wine showing lifted red fruits, leading to dark plums with hints of white pepper and French oak spice. The palate is juicy, medium bodied, elegant and flowing with dark fruits, spice and fine integrated tannins. A long, balanced finish that is seamlessly rounded out with the very best French oak. This Shiraz will provide great drinking now and for many years to come.

"Whole bunches (15%), matured in new (30%) to four-year-old French barriques for 16 months. An excellent and bright crimson-purple hue immediately brings to attention just how vibrant this wine is. Ripe red fruits, cocoa nibs, white pepper and a hint of violets in the bouquet, while the medium-bodied palate exudes charm. It's well weighted and structured, too, with very fine and persistent tannins rounding out a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth but is assured to age well also."
