🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Vibrant and sensuous nose with aromas of sweet berry fruit, dark black currants, violets, peppery and light cedar notes. On the mouthfeel medium-full bodied, soft flavourful and seductive fruit, smooth tannins and refreshing acidity. The wine finish is long tasty and savoury.

I finally got to enjoy a wine which has been on my wine bucket list for quite some time now. The star of this wine is definitely the classic aromatics of premium Australian Shiraz, Christmas fruit cake. The nose didn’t quite translate on the mouthfeel, replaced instead with an elegant and complex texture. So much going on here and absolutely brilliant wine. Looking forward to my next experience with Rockford Basket Press Shiraz. Cheers my wine friends 🍷
