Hollick The Bard Shiraz 2017
- Textured, savoury
- Limestone Coast
This wine from Hollick reminds me of those once-a-year, deliciously expensive artisan chocolates: a dark raspberry ganache lures you in, with a crisp-cracking exterior and a velvet-smooth core. Add in some earthiness and black fruits, plus a few seeds of vanilla bean and weâre getting pretty close. Itâs a medium-bodied wine, so wonât weigh you down, effortlessly matching savoury to silky.

Region
Limestone Coast
The Limestone Coast encompasses Coonawarra, Padthaway, Wrattonbully, Mt Benson, Robe and Mt Gambier. A relatively warm wine region on the whole, but peppered with various pockets of cool weather and an overriding maritime influence, it produces wines from rich reds to alternative whites and has the perfect conditions for some amazing dessert wines and Riesling. Including names both big and up-and-coming, if it's a mutli-regional blend you're after, Limestone Coast delivers on quality and value.
