TASTING NOTES:

Eileen Hardy Shiraz displays a deep red colour with dark hues lining the bottle. The fragrant bouquet exhibits rich aromas of fresh blueberries, persimmon flesh, chocolates and black olives coupled with underlying savoury, smoky notes and spicy French oak characters. These vibrant fragrances give way to an intense and textured palate full of dark chocolate, plum and ripe blueberry flavours. Fine and silky smooth tannins fuse with subtle French oak nuances, to end in a delicate and persistent finish. Suggested food pairing for this enticing Shiraz include rib eye steak, brisket, or grilled vegetables with bold sauces. A powerful combination of rich sweet blackberry fruit and fine tannin gives this wine great depth of flavour, with balance and texture.
