2020 Plantagenet 'Lancaster' Shiraz

New Release - May 2024

100% Shiraz

Deep Maroon in colour, with blue fruits, some spice, and a hint of black pepper on the nose, this wine is well integrated to form a dark, brooding intensity. It is a powerful and structured wine from a warmer Great Southern vintage with a densely fruited mid-palate, layered mouth-filling tannins, and structure to match. It will develop impressively over time.

Pair with crackled Pork belly with roast fennel, potatoes and a rich gravy

93 points - "A delightfully elegant medium-bodied succulent shiraz from this very good vintage. Loads of savoury plummy fruit evident immediately on the nose. The palate is soft and supple with a juicy plush mouth feel. Dark chocolate, lightly roasted coffee bean and a lift of spicy sage all work seamlessly together. An excellent wine." - Ray Jordan Wine.

"Dark, inky, opaque and vibrant in the glass. Heady aromas of plum, mulberry, graphite, sarsaparilla, pudding spice and bramble. Juicy, dark fruit driven and plush on the palate. The fruit is really fleshy, dark and expansive. There's plenty of stewed plum, blackberry and spice, all teaming nicely with firm tannins and shapely acidity." - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review.
