Hollick Wrattonbully Shiraz 2019
Wrattonbully, Limestone Coast, South Australia, AustraliaWrattonbully is not far from Coonawarra, with similar red soils and a notch more warmth. From vines planted in 1998, this smoky, spicy shiraz shows subdued plum and blackberry. It's varietally correct, but lacking the fruit definition and complexity to take this to the next level. Medium-full bodied, there's solid freshness here even at 14.5% abv, but the finish is detracted by some grittiness to the tannins. Enjoy now with dry rub ribs.Tasted: 10 July 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $25.39 | 750ml | speculative listing - Schiralli - Lifford Wine Agencies |
