About Kooyonga Creek Shiraz 2018 750ML
Kooyonga Creek Shiraz 2018 opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, interwoven with subtle hints of cracked black pepper and a whisper of smoky oak. On the palate, this South Australian Shiraz delivers a generous, fruit-forward experience with layers of blackcurrant and boysenberry supported by velvety tannins and a touch of mocha. The wine shows excellent balance between its ripe fruit core and savory spice elements, with a medium-to-full body that feels plush and approachable. The finish is warm and lingering, leaving impressions of dark chocolate, vanilla, and dried herbs.
