Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Langhorne Creek sits near Lake Alexandrina, and the afternoon breezes coming off the water are what give the region's Shiraz its particular character — ripe and plush, but rounder and softer than the Barossa, without the baked edge warmth can bring. Blackberry and dark plum with chocolate, black pepper and a dried-herb note. Full-bodied with a velvety texture and supple tannin. Generous and immediately likeable rather than structured.
