Dalwhinnie 'LDR' Shiraz

The palate is bright, spice‑driven, and medium‑bodied, opening with black cherry, mulberry, and plum skin. The fruit feels fresh and lifted, reflecting the cooler Pyrenees climate and the wine’s modern, lighter‑touch style. A mid‑palate of cinnamon, star anise, and cracked pepper adds aromatic warmth, while the tannins are powder‑fine and elegantly shaped, giving the wine flow rather than weight. There’s a subtle thread of slatey earth and dried herb, echoing the region’s mineral soils. As it opens, hints of blueberry, cocoa dust, and warm spice emerge, adding quiet complexity without heaviness. The finish is fresh, gently spiced, and softly persistent, tapering with notes of dark berry pith and a faint herbal echo. Overall, it’s a vibrant, spice‑laced, elegantly structured Pyrenees Shiraz — modern, expressive, and beautifully textured.
