Snake + Herring Redemption Shiraz 2021 Great Southern - 12 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION:

The Snake + Herring brand is a wine safari searching for remarkable grapes from West Australian Vineyards. The Search has begun, and our grape balloon manned by Snake (our winemaker) and Herring (our navigator) represent this. The southwest of WA is a viticultural treasure map as there are vineyard jewels scattered throughout. We seek for blocks within vineyards that really shine; they may seem dull when diluted by the bordering lesser dirt. The search is to find and polish these often overlooked gems and present a treasure chest of different jewels: pristine, crystalline Rieslings; crisp, radiant, multi-faceted Chardonnays; alluring, perfumed Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon; dark, exotic, hedonistic Shiraz; brilliant, regal displays of Cabernets and blends.

TASTING NOTES:

Dark plum in colour with a hint of purple youthfulness, the Redemption Shiraz has super lifted Satsuma, spice, plum skin and raspberry aromas with a hint of underlying earth and liquorice. This is an eminently fruit-driven style, very high on the slurp ability index, with fresh red fruits, a floral call and an earthy answer. Whole bunches in the ferments have added spice elements, an elegant tannin thread through the finish to keep the line and add length. Aged in older puncheons there is subtle oak influence but Redemption Shiraz is a modern take on the classic Shiraz of the Great Southern.
