Spinifex Rostein Shiraz 2018

Tasting Note

Deeply complex and dark brooding nose – dried currant, prune and Chinese plum fruit are laced with woody spice and complex dried herb elements, all underlain with notes of loam, umami, licorice and tar. Classsic Barossa Shiraz palate, dark fruits drenched in fine, velvety tannin. Full yet restrained, creamy dark fruits – blackberry, prune and plum flow over the palate to a long, fine tannin finish.

This has an assertive, red-cherry and blackberry nose with crushed stones, graphite and abundant fragrant spices, buried deep in black fruit. The palate has dense tannins and very intense, concentrated, blackberry and blood-plum flavours. Chiselled, compressed, velvety and powerful.

Halliday Wine Companion

Signature Eden Valley shiraz of full purple hue, reverberating with deep-set spice, powerful blackberry and satsuma plum fruit, fresh licorice and a full serve of dark chocolate oak. Impressive concentration is consummately backed with a fine yet taut frame of intricately suspended tannins that carry the finish very long indeed.

The Real Review

Intense burst of flavour: mulberry, damson, sandalwood, pepper and oak. Full-bodied, fine-grained tannin cradles the fruit with ease.
