Wolf Blass Gold Label Syrah 2012

Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaLook for smoky, lightly gamey, floral, peppery notes on the nose. The attack is juicy with blackberry/blueberry flavours mixed with licorice and light vanilla notes. The finish is dry and savoury, calling for food to lighten up the mood. The Gold Label Shiraz is sourced mostly from low-yielding vineyards across the Barossa Valley floor, bringing intensity and richness. It's mixed with cooler climate Eden Valley fruit, bringing fragrance, elegance and spice. It’s all crushed in small batches in open fermenters and aged 15 months in both seasoned and new French oak. Perfect with grilled lamb or beef.Tasted: 13 June 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
