TASTING NOTES

1860 Vines Shiraz is a light red coloured wine showing bright crimson hues. A swirl of the glass presents scintillating aromas of blackberry, allspice and earth. The dense and savoury palate is rife with intense flavours of black and red cherries, coupled with a gentle touch of dried herbs. Fresh acidity and silky tannins combine with these magnificent characters, to culminate in a captivating finale. Crafted to be relished fresh upon release, this wonderful Shiraz can also be cellared for 20 to 25 years from vintage. Suggested food pairings include medium rare ribeye steak, hamburgers and toffee nut cake.
