2021 Angove Warboys Vineyard Shiraz Grenache

Rich, lush and velvety with a long sweeping finish.

Matured in French oak puncheons. Dense midnight black heart with a deep dark red hue. Pronounced aromas of dark raspberry and liquorice mix with scorched earth, vanillin spice and peppered fennel notes. Rich, lush black raspberry, liquorice and ripe black cherry fruits flood the mouth with an opulent feel. Lurking underneath are vanillin spice, scorched earth and pepper elements. Velvety tannins with a long sweeping finish that’s loaded with succulent fruit.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…..
From 50-year-old vines, with the shiraz hand picked and chilled for a week prior to the grenache, then co-fermented as crushed berries; additionally, there was a portion of grenache fermented with some whole bunches. This is an excellent expression, gifted elegance from a cooler year, and with varieties interlocking seamlessly, an appealing scrubby herbal note permeating the wild blackberry, tart boysenberry, ripe cranberry and dried cherry fruit notes, bay leaf, white pepper and iron accenting. The balance is impeccable, the feel both inviting and savoury. Drink by 2032.
