2 x Thomas Goss McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 (Australia)

Awarded 93/100 Points & 5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Awarded 5 Stars: The Wine Writer NZ

The wine is rich and generously loaded with satsuma plum, blackberry, mocha and spice on the palate. Subtle French oak adds layers and complexity and the wine has great length with soft tannins. The finish is long lasting, delicious, dense and fruit packed.

“Beautifully ripe and inviting on the nose showing blackberry, rich floral, thyme and roasted almond characters. The palate is equally satisfying with succulent fruit intensity together with rounded mouthfeel and fine tannins, finishing wonderfully long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2031” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Alc: 14.5%
