Juxtaposed Shiraz 2017
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaShiraz is seasoned with seven percent mataro, and three percent grenache, a blend of Kangarilla (shiraz from the Sherry Vineyard, 1955 planted), and Dry Creek Vineyard and Whites Valley Vineyard in the Sellicks Foothills. After destemming, this went into French and American oak hogsheads for 13 months, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Leathery and full, threaded with thorns, dusky plum, cassis, ample anise and tight white pepper, mineral driven. Tannins are grippy / gritty to house fruit, and the whole is kept afloat with bright acidity. Modern classic McLaren Vale shiraz to set your compass to.Tasted: 27 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Australia | $38.00 | 750ml | Australia |
