Leeuwin Estate is investing heavily in Shiraz and it shows. New plantings, clones, whole-bunch ferments and bigger barrels produce a vibrant, mid-weight style with riffs of spicy szechuan, fragrant white pepper, clove and violet to the firm red currant and cherry core; contrapuntal, creamy blackberry and crunchy pomegranate lend tension and twang. Fine-grained tannins and subtle oak, fruit and fresh acidity assert its cooler climate credentials. Drinking Window: 2022-2028.
Wine Tasting Notes
Fragrant and concentrated, the nose is defined by a dark fruit spectrum of forest fruits, cherries and mulberries in the forefront, with complementary layers of anise, cloves and savory oak in the background. Violets, mocha notes, and toasted brulee notes provide further substance to this classical and complex Shiraz. A bright and lively entry features blood plums, mulberries and dark chocolate. A textured and layered mid palate leads to structural chalky tannins, with a fine yet balanced natural acid line.
