Sidewood Shiraz 2021

Individual parcels left for an extended maceration on skins, wild-yeast fermented in French barrels, matured for 15 months before final blending. The bouquet is expressive and multifaceted, with pepper, licorice and spice decorating the black fruits, dark chocolate and earth on the medium-bodied palate. Its balance is flawless. Exceptional value. Drink from: 2023. Drink by: 2043. Special Value. Score – 96. (James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, May 10, 2023)
