Rolling Shiraz (75cl, 13.5%)

Rolling Shiraz is a fruit-forward Australian red wine from Cumulus Estate Wines, made from elevated vineyards near Orange in New South Wales. Cool-climate conditions at altitudes approaching 600 metres shape its concentrated colour and expressive aromatics. Although labelled Shiraz, it is a multi-varietal blend of 89% Shiraz, 5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Grenache. The nose shows perfumed floral notes, especially roses, with ripe dark fruit and a faint herbal eucalyptus undercurrent. The palate is smooth and creamy, with fleshy dark fruit, jammy richness, chocolate and measured spice, supported by soft tannins and gentle acidity. The finish is moderate, with lingering ripe fruit and subtle spice warmth.
