Tonic Wines Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 creme-de-cassis Vintage During the yearThis is our first attempt, so the winemaking will evolve, but the wine has surprised us. Its pure and fruit driven as youd expect but somehow theres a savoury interest. Dark fruited but not heavy in anyway, its still got a little Fred Astaire (light on its feet) feel. Frisky but serious. Air is this wine's friend introduce it to a decanter and it will start unfurling. Peat, red and black berries, a weird but interesting Vegemite kinda umaminess.
