Black Opal Shiraz 2021
Taste Profile: Intense colour, flavour and soft tannins from grape skins. Ripe berry fruits along with fig and raisin add to the complex cedar aromas. The palate is soft plum with a dark fruit richness. The tannins are fine and supple making a round, mouth-filling wine.
Grape: 100% Shiraz/Syrah.
Serving Tips: Serve at room temperature, pairs well with spaghetti and meatballs or barbequed beef.
Winemaking: Black Opal's winemaking philosophy is to make and blend wine from a number of vineyards in order to produce wine of a specific predetermined style. Black Opal's parent company, Mildara Blass, sources grapes from vineyard sites in South Australia, including Barossa, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, and Clare. Access to a number of vineyards/regions enables consistent high quality wine of perfect balance and character to be made.
