SHIRAZ GRENACHE ZINFANDEL MCLAREN VALE 2018

Appearance: Intriguing garnet hues in the glass

Nose: At first purple fruit pastilles dominate the nose but then the scent of slightly dusty dried rose petals come to the fore with glimpses of ripe raspberry sweets

Palate: Smooth and rounded with a combination of purple and red berry fruits and tinges of cinnamon. The finish is all mocha chocolate delivered by lingering tannins

Food Pairing: Slow roasted belly of pork
