About the wine
Old vines create luscious character
- The return of Thomas's Top Shelf Shiraz is more triumphant than ever, after a sky-high 92% rating by thousands of Angels last vintage! It is packed to the brim with aromas of dark berries, cocoa and hints of lifted pepper, leading to a rich and voluptuous mouth feel.
- Situated in the beautiful Upper Hunter, this old Shiraz vineyard is dry grown, producing intensely flavoured fruit. Partial barrel fermentation in a blend of French and American oak has given it luscious length to highlight the amazing characters of the fruit. Thomas has a true soft spot for this beautiful vineyard.
- Full bodied, fleshy and ripe in style, this is an incredible example of just what Hunter Shiraz can do, exclusively for Angels at under $17. Unbelievable!
Best before
Enjoy this wine as is. is a stunning example of a 2 year old Hunter Valley Shiraz.It will develop with some time but I am loving this as we speak.
Serving advice
Serve this at room temperature, certainly not hot! If you think aeration will help go for it! but at the moment I am loving it as is!
Food match
Any form of bbq game to be honest!!! A very flexible shiraz that certainly will be enjoyed in any situation and with any form of Meat!
