Shiraz 2014 – Black Market Deal #37304
- Rich, full-bodied
- Padthaway
This shiraz is from a producer who knows their way around the variety, with years of expertise growing the grape. This is the top of their range. There’s a family resemblance in all of their wines - ripe, full, firm palates with well-integrated tannin and good length.
Profile
This wine is a step above all of their other wines with dense, dark fruit in a bigger-than-big, bolder-than bold package - the wine and the luxuriously heavy bottle. It’s a complex wine with chocolate, mocha and earthy notes on the nose. The palate is an interplay of tannin, baking spice, and all the red berries and fruits you can imagine, resting in a bed of velvety texture. The wine is at the start of its best drinking window and with so much density, will be drinking very well and evolving slowly over the next 5-10 years. This has all you could want in a super-premium shiraz - so, if this sounds like your kind of wine, I’d suggest you click buy, and maybe add a couple to your cart.

Region
Padthaway
Padthaway is home to some of the most unique and groovy wines in South Australia. The region was given the 'all clear' by the CSIRO in 1944, vineyards were planed by Seppelt in 1964 (Not sure why it took them 20 years to get onboard) and these days has more than 4,000 hectares of vineyards planted. The main varieties to be grown are Shiraz, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Although these are the main players, the region's rich soil, underground water supply and Mediterranean climate allow for other varieties such as Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Pinot Noir to be grown.
