The inky 2022 Bella's Garden Shiraz is saturated, positively dripping in purple fruit on the nose. It has cassis, milk chocolate, raspberry and licorice and the all-too-familiar splay of earth-derived tannins on the palate that speak eloquently of the Barossa, with iodine, red earth, brick dust and pastrami. It's an epic wine. 14.6% alcohol, sealed under Diam.

Ripe and generous aromas of blueberry compote, blackberries, rose petals, iron stone and cured meats. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and balanced acidity, providing a viscous and powerful mouthfeel. Flavors of dark chocolate, plum jam and spice. Bold and rich. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Vivino | Vivino 4.2
Deep dark red. Black core with red meniscus. Bursts out of the glass almost in a brooding, elegant manner. Juicy red and black fruits with notes of five spice, earth, black pepper and sandalwood. Fresh juicy fruits erupt and roll across the palate as only a great Barossa Shiraz can. Lovely tactile nature with grippy fine grained tannins.
