Domaine Terlato Shiraz,S-Block Saddleback,Pyrénées 2022 0,75l

S-Block Saddleback is the more opulent Shiraz from Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier, grown in the cool Pyrenees region of Victoria. The poor, stony soils and continental climate shape an intense, darkly spiced expression of the grape. The bouquet shows ripe red and black fruits, cranberry and sloe alongside hints of light liquorice, dark chocolate and a touch of chilli heat. On the palate Saddleback is broad, rich and velvety, with very high but ripe tannin intensity and deeply concentrated fruit. Despite its power the wine remains balanced and never jammy, lifted by fresh acidity and underlying minerality. This impressive Shiraz is a great choice with slow cooked beef, lamb rack, game dishes and boldly flavoured barbecue food.

Twelve months in French oak give the Shiraz extra depth, chocolate notes and a spicy structure.

Domaine Terlato

In Australia’s Victorian Pyrenees, Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier turns distance into precision: the partnership began in 2000, and the Great Western hills now carry Syrah with a touch of Viognier on clay‑and‑gravel, podzolic soils over schist and quartz....
