Jim Barry McRae Wood Shiraz

Jim Barry McRae Wood Shiraz from Claire Valley, Australia. Intense color of dark purple, almost ink. On the nose, one recognizes aromas of cherry liqueur, mocha, spice and mint. The taste is very powerful, generous, soft and robust. Complex wine with soft and ripe tannins. Very long finish. The wine is made in a modern way where tradition is never lost sight of. The grapes are harvested manually and aged in wooden barrels after fermentation.

Syrah, a strong blue grape of very high quality. This grape is usually not easy for wine growers, but it is the seasoning for many Côtes du Rhône Villages. Delivers incredibly powerful and complex wines under optimal conditions. Have a high tannin content, without being stiff. The Syrah grape quickly suffers from poor fruit set in cool weather during flowering (coulure) but is not very susceptible to grape diseases such as Oidium.
