Piping Shrike Shiraz is a 100% Barossa Valley Shiraz made by Charles Cimicky. The fruit comes from predominantly dry-grown vines, with minor drip irrigation during January and February, cover cropping and organic fertilisation. After harvest, the wine ages for 14 months in French and American oak barrels, with 35% of the American oak component new. It is suited to weeknight dinners featuring grilled lamb or beef, and can be served at around 16-18 C, with a few minutes of air opening the spice and chocolate notes.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fragrant smoke and blueberry, then spicy red berries, dried flowers and black tea, with bacon fat and cinnamon emerging.

Palate

Deep plum and blueberry, mocha, dark chocolate and vanilla, with mid-palate acidity and strawberry and raspberry tones.

Finish

Smooth and moderately long, with coffee, bittersweet chocolate and cinnamon spice, and fine-grained tannins.
