Wine Description

The 2019 Grange is predominantly Shiraz (97%) with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon (3%). In the glass, it presents a deep, dark, and vibrant hue. The nose is immediately recognizable, offering lifted aromas of dark chocolate, mocha, dark cherry, blackberry, panforte, and licorice. On the palate, it delivers a rich tapestry of flavours, including dark chocolate and blackberry fruits, complemented by fine graphite tannins and well-balanced mocha and espresso oak notes. The mid-palate is notably rich, leading to a chocolaty firm and long finish. This wine is expansive and full-bodied, with chewy, grainy tannins and balanced acidity, ensuring its longevity.
