Smalltown Vineyards, The Black Craft, Shiraz. Barossa 2022

This is a real cracker from Noel Young, the Cambridge wine merchant-winemaker (also poacher turned game keeper).

The fruit comes from several plots in the northern part of Barossa valley.

Inviting nose that does not disappoint, blackberry and spicy notes from the get go, with great balance and length. Serve best with a hearty dish this winter. 14.5% vol.
