THORN-CLARKE BAROSSA SHIRAZ - VARIETAL COLLECTION
$43.00
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Vintage 2022 will be remembered as one of the longest seasons for decades, with crushing at Thorn Clarke starting mid-February and finishing in May. The very mild temperatures along with dry conditions led to a long growing season, without any weather events to force us to pick early or delay picking. Grapes ripened at a very even pace, allowing for lots of flavour and structure to accumulate in the berries. These wines are set for a long life if you choose to cellar a few.

APPEARANCE:
|
A deep and lively red-purple-hued wine with almost inky depth at the
centre. |
|
AROMA:
|
The nose is lifted and vibrant with blackberry, red currant, and a
lightly spiced musk, enticing, youthful and complex. |
|
PALATE:
|
Mouth-filling fruit, white pepper spice and hints of aniseed dominate the palate initially, then as the wine opens, more complex, savoury bramble and cranberry.
|
|
FOOD PAIRING:
|
It pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, barbecued lamb, and hearty tomato-based dishes thanks to its ripe dark fruit and spice character.
