2023 Yalumba Paradox Shiraz

A rich and luxurious yet refined Barossa Shiraz with a long, highly finessed finish.

One of Yalumba’s distinguished site wines, the Paradox is sourced from the Northern Barossa and is made with an emphasis on velvet like texture and the use of less new oak than many of its counterparts. Maturation taking place in French oak puncheons, with only 16% new oak employed, for a period of 14 months.
Impenetrable inky black colour with a near equally deep dark red black hue. Dark plum, liquorice and blackberry scents flow through the nostrils with impressive volume followed by delicately smoked vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered earth notes. Rich and luxurious yet refined in it’s movement across the palate, succulent dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits are in the driver's seat. Fennel, gently smoked vanillin cedar and peppered earth elements lurk beneath. Polished yet structural tannin framework with a long, highly finessed finish.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 14%
