The Ashmead family have done it again. This Estate Shiraz is undoubtedly a benchmark wine for the Barossa Valley. Dark purple in color, with plum, cherry and chocolate notes jumping from the glass. The wine fills the mouth with a myriad of delicious fruit flavours, with those plum, cherry and even boysenberry notes at the forefront. Hints of chocolate, mocha and tobacco add to the wine's charm and smoothness. A rich and intensely flavored wine that is beautifully balanced. This is a trophy winner...
