A quintessential Barossa Shiraz, the 2018 vintage from Handpicked Wines delivers a rich and expressive profile that showcases the region's renowned depth and complexity.

The nose is an inviting blend of dark chocolate-covered raisins, mint, green peppercorn, and licorice, leading to a palate that mirrors these aromas with added layers of blackberry, black plum, and a touch of cooking spice. The wine is full-bodied with a touch of warmth, complemented by smooth tannins and a medium finish.

This Shiraz is a versatile companion to hearty dishes such as roast leg of lamb, beef stew, or a platter of mature hard and blue cheeses. Its structure and depth also suggest potential for aging, allowing the wine to develop further complexity over time.
