2023 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
This Great Southern Shiraz strikes a seamless balance between power and elegance, offering a vibrant bouquet of dark cherries, Satsuma plum, and mulberry, underscored by hints of subtle vanilla. The palate is rich and layered, with plush briary berry flavours complemented by savoury notes of Hoisin sauce and allspice. A fine acidity enlivens the mouthfeel, while smooth, pleasantly chewy tannins add texture and depth. The oak influence lends the wine a gentle charry note, alongside a long and satisfying fruit-filled finish.
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.
