“Mother’s Milk” Shiraz 2022 Barossa Valley
This Barossa Shiraz is made for drinking! Soft, slurpy and textured it is balanced with a fresh mouthfeel and makes you go back for more. Sourced from vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valley, it is fruit-laden, savoury and dangerously easy to drink!
Colour: Garnet red with purple hues.
Bouquet: A complex nose of dark cherry and blackberry aromas with a hint of forest floor and spice.
Palate: Vibrant dark cherry and blackberry with a hint of 'wombat rolled in all spice' balanced with an even, textural palate with soft, supple tannins.
