Chapel Hill The Parson McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 (Australia)

Description

• French oak
• Satsuma plum
• Exotic spice
• Mouth-coating tannins

This wine displays generous aromas of mulberries, dusted with exotic Indian spices. The luscious palate is brimming with both aniseed and satsuma plum flavours that seamlessly integrate into the persistent mouth coating tannins.

To achieve the desired style, the grapes were strategically harvested to avoid any overripe, broad or jammy fruit flavours. The subsequent red ferments were then handled gently and allowed to remain on skins for up to 8 days to ensure optimum extraction of flavour and tannin. Following gentle pressing the free run and pressing fractions are combined. To promote and nurture varietal expression and complexity only well seasoned tight grained French oak was used during the maturation process.

Food Pairing: Rack of lamb with couscous salad and winter vegetables.
