Tasting Notes
Appearance
This Clare Valley Shiraz displays a vibrant deep purple hue with excellent clarity and depth, indicating the wine's youth and concentration. The colour intensity reflects the quality fruit selection and careful winemaking.
Aroma
The nose reveals enticing aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, and black plums, beautifully integrated with spice oak notes and dark chocolate from 24 months' maturation in American and French oak barrels. A parcel from the iconic Schaefer vineyard adds a fresh lift and perfumed character unique to this exceptional site.
Palate
Full-bodied yet refined, the palate delivers soft, ripe tannins with excellent concentration of flavours and impressive length. The wine harmonises rich dark fruit with oak-derived spice and chocolate notes, creating a balanced, approachable style with power and finesse. This graceful Clare Shiraz is both enjoyable now and worthy of cellaring for up to 10 years.
Pairs With
This Clare Valley Shiraz makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb shanks, beef Wellington, and other red meat dishes, where its structure and fruit intensity complement rich, savoury flavours beautifully.
