2014 Lou Miranda Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro

The Shiraz was sourced from vines planted in 1907 and the Mataro in 1897, drinking this wine is drinking vinous history from one of Australia’s most celebrated regions.

An inky dark red, the nose is dense and concentrated with plum and black cherry that's softened by seductive oak and a touch of briar and earth.

The palate shows a wine of such concentration, but also one that maintains both contrast and elegance. It's awash with blue and black fruits with interwoven oak spice and a seemingly infinite yet meticulously maintained web of tannin. There is a leathery note that starts to develop on the mid to back palate that adds yet another layer of complexity before melding with spice laden plum to finish. The length is significant.
