Yalumba SC Barossa Shiraz

The Barossa Shiraz 2018 is a deep, dark, purple red in colour.

This is a generously aromatic wine with ripe plums, anise, lavender, currants and dark chocolate with complex notes of savoury spices. On the palate purple fruits, liquorice and violets are followed by pepper and spice. This is a full bodied, generously flavoured classic Barossa Shiraz. With good winter soil moisture, the vines grew happily through a warm spring and into the dry summer months. These conditions led to an even bunch set and healthy vine canopy. Through summer and into autumn, the Shiraz vines held their fruit in great condition, producing grapes with intense varietal Shiraz flavours. Matured for 12 months in 26% new French, American and Hungarian hogsheads. Balance in older octaves, hogsheads and barriques. A wine to drink now or cellar for 10 years.
