2019 Shaw and Smith Shiraz

One of Australia's best cool-climate Shiraz, low yields (especially in 2019) and site selection all-important. Hand picked, partial whole bunch and remainder whole berry open-fermented, matured in French oak (33% new) for 14 months. A super-fragrant red cherry bouquet, with mulberry, licorice and plum notes joining the vibrant red fruits of the palate, backed by firm, precisely framed tannins. Drink now to 10+ years .
