2022 Auld Family Wines Strawbridge Shiraz

Rich, full bodied and possessing a textural feel that’s bordering on voluptuous.

Impenetrable inky black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Wafting out of the glass are heady scents of ripe blackberry, dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate which intermingle with some toasty vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich, full bodied and possessing a textural feel that’s bordering on voluptuous, the palate is saturated with dark plum, liquorice, blackberry, dark chocolate and toasty vanillin oak flavours. Earthy mocha and spice the undercard. Velvety tannins finishing long and plush.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 15%

Other Reviews…..
A really impressive Barossa Shiraz, the team source fruit from growers throughout the region. An opaque purple, this is dense and yet it is packed with flavour. We have notes of mocha, chocolate, spices, coffee beans, plums, black cherries and leather. A generous style, there is gentle acidity running the length and a soft touch of oak, rather like a lovely choccy biscuit. A decadent texture, sleek tannins and serious length, this is a cracker and will remain so for the next eight to ten years. Drink 2025-2035.
