2022 Howard Park Flint Rock Shiraz
$30.00
The continental and cooler climes of the Great Southern are favoured for the growing of Flint Rock Shiraz. In the Frankland and Mount Barker subregions, where Shiraz reigns, the wines display a great intensity of dark fruits with traces of spice, earth and soft tannins. Each subregion adds its own complexity, due to the soils, aspects, clones and microclimates unique to the respective sites.
Flint Rock Shiraz is a layered, flavoursome and complex wine showcasing the quality of Great Southern Shiraz grapes.
Great Southern
TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Its character unfolds gracefully in the glass, with a concentrated fruit profile that remains impeccably fresh and tart, avoiding any hint of jamminess.
The nose presents a captivating and inky medley of black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, clove, crushed peppercorn, wet slate and violets, seamlessly integrated and inviting. The palate is supple and soft, adorned with plentiful briary fruit providing depth and a plush texture, while grippy tannins offer impressive length.
Food Match
A perfect partner for lamb kofta, or pair with fried eggplant stuffed with manchego and fresh herbs.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or over the next 5 to 7 years.
