Thomas Goss McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022 (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Mocha, Oak

"Richly fruited and inviting, showing blackberry, rich floral, star anise and hazelnut aromas on the nose, leading to a generously flavoursome palate, delivering silky texture and beautifully infused tannins. Wonderfully composed and expressed, finishing persistent and satisfying. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2024

"Supple aromas of blood plums, wild blackberries and spices. The medium-bodied palate has firmly integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mocha, dried herbs and mulberries. Fresh and generous with a firm structure. Drink or hold. Screw cap" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

This wine is rich and generously loaded with vibrant plum, black fruits, 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.

A pioneer farmer and landholder of note, Thomas Goss, his wife Mary and their children arrived in South Australia from Devonshire in 1849. After success in the Victorian gold fields he acquired sections of farming land between McLaren Vale and Willunga which are now home to some of the region’s leading vineyards.
