Shiraz 2018 – Black Market Deal #36614
- Medium bodied
- Great Southern
One of WA’s greatest producers makes this shiraz under a side project label. This side project stands tall in its own right though with a Five Star Halliday rating and 95 points for this specific wine. Fruit is sourced from vineyards in Great Southern before being taken to the winery to ferment with 20% whole bunches. Texture is the name of the game with this wine with only older oak used in the ageing process. Bright red fruits are accompanied by pepper, minerality, licorice, earthiness and silky tannins. It’s a fun and casual wine, but there’s a lot of complexity just beneath the surface. Beauty and brains - the complete package!

Region
Great Southern
Great Southern is, believe it or not, the country's largest wine region at 200km east to west, and 100km north to south. No surprise then, that the countryside and climate changes dramatically from end to end, and that there are five subregions: maritime Albany; neighbouring Denmark; Frankland River, favouring Bordeaux reds; cooler Mount Barker renowned for stunning Riesling; and even cooler, granitic, continental Porongorup where Cabernet defers to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. As a large region to source from, variety and style can vary immensely, but you can count on quality, as there are so many great vines to choose from.
