Sherrah Shiraz
Hancock & Hancock Shiraz Grenache
Restrained and supple, lots of ripe dark plum, pepper and spice of Shiraz with the rose petal perfume lift and red cherry taste of Grenache. Lovely lightness and brightness to the back palate with a faint dried herbal and savoury edge, making it terrific immediate drinking but will cellar nicely for 5-10 years.
Mitolo Savitar Shiraz
The fruit used to produce Mitolo Savitar Shiraz was sourced from bountiful vineyards in southern McLaren Vale. The grapes underwent fermentation on their skins for a fortnight, which was followed by pressing. The resulting dry red wine displays a deep garnet red colour. The perfumed bouquet exudes attractive aromas of blackberry bramble, tar and fresh mint, coupled with floral hints and powerful vanillin oak characters. These fragrances effortlessly make way for a lush and intense palate, brimming with blackcurrant, plum and liquorice flavours. Integrated with silky and juicy tannins, the drink culminates in a fine and grainy finish. Cellar this wine for 8 to 12 years, for the flavours to evolve. Serve it on a special occasion with lasagna or Vincisgrassi.
