Shiraz 2017 – Black Market Deal #35718
- Medium bodied
- Clare Valley
2017 was a cooler vintage in Clare, which means longer ripening times for the grapes, which means later pickings from the vines, which means greater depth and complexity in the finished product while still maintaining elegance and restraint. It bodes well, my friends. We’ve had to jump through some hoops to land this deal for our members but if you just love a Clare shiraz, order this with confidence. You’ll be grinning ear to ear when this rocks up at your doorstep. With a monster 95 point score from Halliday, cellaring potential aplenty and ‘drink now’ prospects, this little number will sell super fast. So get in quick and reap the rewards and be the envy of the neighbourhood!

Region
Clare Valley
Riesling lovers need look no further. If there was ever a shrine to the rizza gods then it would be in the Clare. But go beyond the pristine, dry and steely whites that made the region world famous, and you’ll find some special reds worthy of attention. Shiraz and cabernet are among the frontrunners, with examples from Kilikanoon, Jim Barry, Leasingham, Tim Adams and Skillogalee regularly receiving top marks from Sir Halliday. There’s also some pretty smart grenache, cabernet franc and cabernet malbec coming out of the region too. So if you’re into plummy, well structured red wine styles, then you’ll find rich pickings here.
