2017 Joanna Shiraz
Regular price $50.00Hints of dark chocolate and vanilla aromas greet you in the glass. This develops into blackberry and mulberry fruits, with hints of spice and white pepper. The palate is full and luscious with good palate weight and a nice dusting of oak. The smooth but present tannin completes this wine with power and prestige. Will complex and age well over the next 10-15years. ( Joanna was first released with the 2012 vintage and was an instant customer favourite ).
