Samuel's Gorge Shiraz 2022
The Samuels Gorge Shiraz 2022 represents a nod to Australia's enduring love affair with Shiraz, a grape variety that was introduced to the country in the mid-1830s and has since become South Australia’s most widely planted grape, boasting a devoted following, particularly in the McLaren Vale.
At Samuel’s Gorge, the focus is on crafting a Shiraz that embodies balance, texture, nuance, and complexity. This pursuit is realized through the meticulous selection of grapes from various unique vineyards within the region, coupled with the thoughtful utilization of whole bunch fermentation and aging in old French oak barrels.
The 2022 vintage unveils captivating aromas of star anise, blackberry, and plum. On the palate, one can expect a symphony of flavors, including black cherries, pepper, and spice, all working in unison to deliver a harmonious experience.
While the wine is already displaying its charms in its youth, its potential for graceful aging is undeniable, promising to evolve beautifully with time.
For optimal enjoyment, it is suggested to pair this wine with a flame-cooked meal. Consider indulging in barbecued lamb accompanied by a vibrant summer salad featuring grilled peaches, assorted greens, and roasted almonds, allowing the flavors to complement and enhance each other.
