Cape Barren 'Native Goose' Shiraz McLaren Vale 2018 le-chat-noir In warm weather

In warm weather

Absolutely at the top

A wine of wonderful texture and complexity

The palate begins with a burst of supple red berry and sweet cherry flavours balanced by bright acidity and nicely textured tannins

A wine that displays the power of California fruit in part to the warmer weather yet is tempered by the restrained qualities that are Hyde Vineyard’s trademark minerality and freshness

Cape Barren 'Native Goose' Shiraz McLaren Vale 2018 le-chat-noir In warm weatherPowerful intensity of forest berries, such as raspberries and blackberries, mix well with the ripe lift of Satsuma plums and chocolate, and five spice savouriness, all enhanced by well integrated oak freshness. Richly textured, yet showing finesse and excellent balance of juicy layers of blackberry, spice, plum and bitter chocolate. This persists through to a very long lasting velvety smooth finish capped by structured, soft tannins.
