Geoff Hardy Hand Crafted Shiraz
This is the epitome of exuberant McLaren Vale fruit in a big way. ALL the plum, black and red berries, a lick of silky licorice and a dab of molten chocolate. It’s always pleasing when wines from this producer land at the doorstep - a little smile of recognition is bound to pass your lips. If you asked for any more bang for your buck, we might just have to call you greedy.

Domaine Clarendon Syrah
Re-tasted on 07/06/2022 Magnificent colour displaying a pitch black core with a very deep black dark red hue. Pronounced black cherry, liquorice and black plum aromas are overlaid by scorched earth and smoked meats followed by spicy vanillin cedar and pepper notes. Tightly built rich black cherry and liquorice flavours dominate over inky earth, lightly scorched vanillin cedar, dried meats and blackpepper. Dry grippy finish with tightly grained tannins. Rich yet elegant and muscular in its feel. Good underlying power with a long black cherry, liquorice, smoky vanillin cedar, dried meats and earthy pepper aftertaste. Cellar 8-10 years. Alc. 14.5%
