2021 Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Wild Ferment Shiraz

Rich and lush with a muscular yet opulent feel and robust finish.

Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Intense blackberry, liquorice and black cherry scents flood the nostrils followed by some smoky vanillin cedar, earth and peppered fennel notes. Rich, lush black cherry and liquorice fruits are backed by ripe chewy tannins. Spicy vanillin cedar, scorched earth and peppered fennel accents lie underneath. Muscular yet opulent feel with a densely fruited robust finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 14.4%

Other Reviews…..
This is no Peppermint Pattie but it comes close, bringing a now-distinctive LWSTL peppery elegance to the glass. Wild ferments can be unpredictable, but this is a mighty strong follow-up to 2020 with a similar high level of intensity: black pepper, acacia, five-spice, licorice, black fruits and spice rolling long, clean and bright across the tongue. Tannins, supple and well-crafted, sit back in readiness for time in bottle – it can easily take 10 years – and they are girded for the journey. Drink by 2032.
