Allegiance Wines The Artisan Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

With seven Golds to its name including two Double Golds, and scores between 90-96, this is a delicious Barossa Shiraz that's won plaudits from show judges and critics – and customers too. " Sweetly ripe and perfumed, the wine shows blackberry, dark plum, thyme, clove and roasted nut aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's supple and fleshy. Wonderfully graceful and richly textured with a prolonged delectable finish" (Sam KIm, Wine Orbit). "A boisterous nose of vanilla, spiced plums and milk chocolate lead into a viscous core of red and black berries. Complexing savoury notes of earth and leather join in too. This is a full-throttle style, vanillin oak adds a layer of flavour and structure. There's freshness, a great feature of this brash full-bodied style of Shiraz which will ensure it ages well" (Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review).
