2021 Appassimento Shiraz

$45.00

Vine dried Shiraz fruit to concentrate the berries into rich and intense flavours.

Reviews:

“Inky, whole bunch herbaceousness gives an alpine feel to the wine. With crushed violets, liquorice, and pomegranate acidity, it’s crunchy with a bit of spice. Like walking into a meadow after it’s rained, there are notes of warm earth, lavender, baked blackberries, a hefty dose of cardamom” - Sez Robinson, Cumulus

“Cassis, darker fruit, plum, spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, some graphite. A savoury and dry finish on the palate – amaro bitterness, spice, and good length. This wine made a real impression in the line-up – darker, heavier, and obviously slightly aged. Dry-aged wagyu with some Szechuan spice rub would be fantastic alongside this!” - Tony Layton, St Huberts

“Deep and inky in the glass, but bursting with a kind of confectionery joy. I’d play with the sweet/spice dynamic with sticky pork ribs or American barbecue.” - Blaire Gillespie
