Sidewood Estate Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2019 14.0% 6x75cl

"95 points. Quintessential Adelaide Hills shiraz. Dark berries and aromatic garden herbs, swirling fruit with a classy Amaro bitters edge and fine tannins providing a gently chewiness. A terrific expression of region and variety." (James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion)

This exceptional cool-climate Shiraz was sourced from selected vines on 3 estate vineyards, hand crafted and bottled at Sidewood’s family-owned winery. Individually selected parcels were left for an extended maceration on their skins, followed by wild yeast fermentation in 100% French oak barrels. The wine was then allowed to mature for a further 15 months before barrel selection and the final blending. 

Aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant, bitter chocolate and a touch of allspice lead to a generous fruit-driven palate with hints of white pepper, violets and seasoned leather. Rich, silky tannins linger on with seamless persistence.
