Description
The Churchview Estate Shiraz 2018 is a fine example of how Margaret River can create a wonderfully elegant Shiraz. Unlike a typical South Australian Shiraz this wine displays characteristics that are a lot more similar to a French Syrah from Southern Rhone. Rich red colour with ruby hues, the wine greets you with a prominent bouquet of mixed dark red fruits, cherry, mulberry and raspberry with undertones of subtle aniseed and mixed spices. This is a medium bodied wine but with surprising richness where subtle oak adds a layer of flavour and complexity to the delightful, sweet fruit flavours. The softness and roundness of the tannins blend so well with the weight of the mouthfeel, and the succulent characters of the fruit carry right through to a balanced, mouth filling, persistent and smooth finish. Does not need further bottle age but will easily cellar for another 5-6 years. Enjoy with most red meats or a great match with a red curry or other spicy Asian food.
