90+ Cellars Shiraz (75cl, 14%)

90+ Cellars Shiraz is a full-bodied Australian red wine from 90+ Cellars, bottled at 14% ABV in a 750ml format. Produced through a négociant model that sources juice from highly rated Australian vineyards, it is made from Shiraz harvested during cool evening hours, then destemmed, crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The cooler fermentation regime is intended to minimise harsh tannin extraction while preserving peppery aromatics. In the glass it is inky purple, with spicy blackberry and ripe red plum on the nose, then smokiness, subtle oak and crushed violets. The palate is round and juicy, with dark berry fruit, cassis and baking spice. The finish is smooth and lingering, with peppery spice and soft, well-integrated tannins.
