Botham 81 Series Barossa Shiraz 75cl
General
Taste
This Shiraz is blended from several individual vineyards that supply us with fruit from the Barossa. Selected firstly in the vineyard for fruit flavour and then as wine after maturation as the best available wine parcels. The selected wine components all compliment each other and each individual wine adds an aspect to the final blend. This Shiraz is robust and full-bodied with a firm tannin finish and typically represents the style we strive to achieve as typical of the Barossa for each vintage.
COLOUR:
Intense, attractive deep ruby purple.
NOSE:
Rich plum, chocolate and spicy fruit with toasty vanillin oak and
a hint of anise, all subtly combine. The nose shows great depth and
concentration of fruit, which will be enhanced with further bottle
maturation.
PALATE:
A wonderfully round, soft and full flavoured wine with lengthy fine
grain tannins giving structure and complexity. Flavours of fruity spice,
chocolate, blackberry and plum carry through onto the lengthy and
persistent PALATE
