About Majella Shiraz 750mL
Majella Shiraz from Coonawarra opens with a deeply expressive nose of dark plum, blackberry, and cracked black pepper, underpinned by subtle hints of violets and smoked meat. On the palate, this wine is richly structured, delivering waves of ripe dark fruit — blackcurrant, boysenberry, and dark cherry — framed by beautifully integrated French and American oak. Fine-grained tannins provide a firm yet velvety backbone, while a thread of licorice and warm spice weaves through the mid-palate. The finish is long, persistent, and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and cedar.
