Rich and full-bodied, this Shiraz opens with dark chocolate, mocha and plum, lifted by sweet spice and a touch of caramel. Layers of black fruit, earth and vanilla unfold on a plush palate, with fine tannins carrying liquorice, black spice and juniper. Perfectly cellared to reveal its depth and complexity, it’s drinking superbly now with an impressively long finish.

Crimson red with purple hues, this wine bursts from the glass with aromas of blackberry tart, berry coulis, cocoa and sweet spice. The palate is rich and opulent, with intense blackberry and mulberry flavours layered with milk chocolate and baking spice. Supple, polished tannins and well-balanced oak make it beautifully structured. Perfectly cellared to show at its best, it’s drinking wonderfully now while retaining elegance for the years ahead

A hallmark of the Utopos Vineyard on Roennfeldt Road is the pitch perfect acid to tannin balance we can achieve in fully ripened fruit. This provides for delicious, highly approachable wines in their youth, whilst enabling them to develop over a 10-15 year period, and maybe more.
