About Soul Growers Slow Grown Shiraz 2023 750ML
Soul Growers Slow Grown Shiraz from the Barossa Valley is a wine of genuine depth and character, shaped by old low-yielding vines that concentrate flavour with quiet intensity. On the nose, it opens with a brooding core of dark plum and blackberry, lifted by fragrant violet and a whisper of cracked black pepper — a hallmark of cool-influenced Barossa Shiraz. The palate is generous yet structured, delivering layers of dark cherry, mocha, and a subtle smear of dark chocolate, underpinned by fine-grained tannins that speak to careful winemaking. The oak integration is seamless, adding warmth and spice without dominating the fruit. The finish is long, savoury, and satisfying, with lingering notes of licorice and dried herbs that reward patience in the glass.
