Thorn-Clarke Wines Single Vineyard St Kitts Dam Block Shiraz 2023, Barossa Valley

Twenty minutes from home. We ride motorbikes around St Kitts every year. Red gums, creeks, rolling hills. Proper Australian country side.

Deep crimson with a purple core. Blackberry, black plum and ripe blueberry, then dark chocolate. Cedar, vanilla and savoury spice tucked in behind. Full and concentrated. Dark fruit sits on fine tannins and oak that knows its place. Plum and blackberry fill the middle, mocha, cocoa and pepper coming with them. Acid keeps it moving. Long, smooth finish.

Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★ A generous Barossa Shiraz showcasing concentrated dark fruits with excellent regional character.
