2020 A.T Richardson Chockstone Shiraz - Grampians Vic
- Low stock - 6 items left
This Shiraz has layers. Layers of complexity and layers of flavour. From the Grampians so all those cool climate flavours and aromas are on display. Violets and dark chocolate, mingle with aromas of bacon fat and liquorice. The flavours are classic, blackberry, cassis, more dark chocolate and hints of white pepper.
Completely in balance, acids keep everything together and the fine tannins provide the palate for the flavours to shine. Hold on to a couple and try in a few years time. You will be impressed.
"Maturation in older American and French barrels. The wildness of the Grampians just seems to effortlessly bring a high level of attractive herbals and spice to its shiraz. This is one example, where the scent alone offers a walk through country: acacia, bracken, anise, pepper and sage. Well supported by blackberries and dark chocolate, with woodsy oak tannins. Another Chockstone shiraz to enjoy now or cellar and forget."
