About Yalumba Paradox Shiraz 750mL
The Yalumba Paradox Shiraz opens with a deep, brooding crimson hue and an expressive bouquet of dark plum, blackberry compote, and cracked black pepper — hallmarks of cool-influenced South Australian Shiraz. On the palate, the wine delivers a generous wave of ripe dark fruit layered with savoury notes of smoked charcuterie, dark chocolate, and a whisper of dried violets. The tannins are plush yet structured, framing the fruit with confidence. A thread of cedary oak weaves through the mid-palate, adding complexity without overwhelming the wine's inherent fruit purity. The finish is long and warming, with lingering spice and a touch of mocha.
