Shaw + Smith Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz 2020

A complex, finely-textured Shiraz expressing the conditions of each vintage and the character of a unique vineyard site. A complex nose as always with this wine, with fennel seed, spiced plum, and dried sage notes. The cool and low yielding season is evident in the red fruit, freshness and drive of this wine.

The whole bunch is carried effortlessly by the fruit, and the tannins are long and ripe and even. A wine with huge ageing potential, and the balance and flesh that make it delicious as a young wine as well.
