Massena The Eleventh Hour Shiraz 2018

A paucity of information accompanying the Massena wines but here fruit sourced from vineyards in Greenock, Stone Well and Vine Vale, some whole bunches, some extended skin contact and basket-pressed to used French barriques and puncheons for 18 months. Unfined and unfiltered. It’s come together brilliantly. It has richness and a depth of flavour matched to a brightness and vivacity across its fuller-bodied palate. Supple, savoury tannins and just lovely fruit shining through. Drink by: 2033. Score – 95. (Jane Faulkner, winecompanion.com.au, Jan. 21, 2021)
