200 Miles From Pirie Shiraz 2017

Padthaway

Star red grape of ocean-cooled Padthaway, South Australia, is Shiraz. You'll taste the class in the ripeness and finesse of this blackberry-scented wine. Intense fruit, a raspberry lift with a weave of liquorice and spice, this is a tasty glassful.

Padthaway is a long, narrow streak of land, 62 km long and 4km wide that runs along the coast of South Australia. No wonder then it's renowned for its cooler, ocean-breeze climate, blessed with plentiful sunshine. It's not far from the equally renowned Coonawarra and less than 200 miles from Pirie Street in Adelaide, hence its name.. Chardonnay does well here among the whites, while Shiraz is its red hero. All the more exciting therefore, when our Buyer Dan Parrott got wind of a premium parcel needing a home. It's a star buy, with a lovely balance of intense ripe fruit, freshness and firm rounded tannins. A top choice with roasted or chargrilled meats on a barbecue or with warming casseroles. Yet it's supple enough to enjoy on its own too.
