Sidewood Estate Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2021 14.7% 6x75cl (Halliday 96 Points)

"96 points. Exceptional Value." James Halliday)

This brilliant 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.
