Blackbilly Shiraz 2021

$28.00

This 19th vintage release of Blackbilly uses an older vineyards from heavier soils in McLaren Flat to produce a beautifully scented wine. Full and round tannins are a highlight of the palate aptly combined with ripe fruit complexity. The partial use of American oak hogsheads for barrel fermentation (~10%) and a mixture of older French oaks provide a complex character in harmony with the fruitiness of the wine.
As this wine has been treated with respect in our cellar, a harmless crust may develop with maturation. Decant and allow to breathe on opening. Medium term cellaring is recommended to enjoy the regionality this wine provides.
