2015 The Bachelor Shiraz

  • The 2015 Barossa was an outstanding vintage, producing powerful and full-bodied Shiraz with jaw-dropping dark fruit meshed with silky new French oak.

    On the bouquet you can enjoy damsons, black cherries, liquorice and dark chocolate. The oak is seamlessly integrated into the wine providing a glorious spine and extra dimension.  Drink it from now until 2030.  Decanting will help open up the wine. Pour a glass and admire that intense, deep ruby colour. Poke your nose into the glass and breathe in that aroma of sweetly scented plums and mocha coffee.  When you taste the wine you’ll enjoy its full-bodied richness, it is a young wine full of potential and primary fruit.

    Keeping it in the cellar for longer will pay the complexity dividend.
