2019 No.6 Shiraz
A bright, vibrant magenta in colour, this Shiraz exhibits lifted aromas of blackberries, redcurrants with hints of cracked pepper and delicate spices.
The palate consists of fresh red berries up front supported with long flavours of mocha and soft tannins providing a lingering finish.
"Big, dark, treacly fruit, bolstered further by blackcurrant jam and vanilla, complemented by grilled notes towards the end. Sumptuous." 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards

Deep, bold red/purple colour. A big, sweet-fruit, very ripe and almost jammy aroma, laced with a meaty, spicy, vegetable, possibly barrel-derived, overtone. The wine has density, richness and weight, if not subtlety. A touch rustic, but certainly has a stack of flavour and guts for a modest price. Huon Hooke 30 APR 2021

The wine smells like ripe raspberry, strawberry, red plum, hints of black currant and blackberry. Nice and completely integrated smokey notes with vanilla at the end. 2021 London Wine Competition
