Maverick Barossa Shiraz 2023, Barossa Valley
Maverick Barossa Shiraz 2023, Barossa Valley
Dark currant, white pepper and spice, more Grampians than fat Barossa. Earth and minerality, raspberry and darker fruit, a lot going on. Maverick wines bring the intrigue.
Deep purple with a crimson rim. Blackberry, ripe plum and dark cherry, then pepper, liquorice, violet and subtle cedar.
Full and generous once it opens. Dense fruit, polished tannin, balanced acid. Oak for soft touch of mocha and spice, fruit still in front. Long finish of dark fruit, earth and savoury spice.
Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★ A generous, intriguing Barossa Shiraz with dark currant, white pepper and a long savoury finish.
Decanting recommended to let the wine breath and open up.
