About Pepperjack Shiraz 2023 375ML
Pepperjack Shiraz opens with an inviting bouquet of dark plum, blackberry, and mocha, underpinned by a signature dusting of cracked black pepper that gives the wine its namesake character. On the palate, it is richly textured and generously fruited, with layers of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry supported by vanilla oak and a hint of dark chocolate. The wine shows the warmth and depth typical of Barossa Shiraz, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without austerity. The finish is long, spiced, and satisfying, lingering with notes of pepper, cedar, and sweet oak.
