Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz 2020
Shiraz grows like it wants to fly away. And the cautious farmer will mutter that
nothing good will come from such a wild thing. But find the soil and climate to
balance this effervescent nature, and you have the chance of making something
beautiful.
We hand-pick our delicious grapes in the quiet, cool of early morning. Lovingly
tendered fermentation takes place in open top fermenters, using ancient wine
crafting methods. This ensures delicious, age-worthy wine with a silky structure
and a brooding, mysterious nature, capable of surprising you with its power and
energy – a real Dark Horse!
We use zero animal products in the production of this wine; electing plantderived
proteins instead. Interestingly, it maintains its status without
compromising character and because of this, it’s enhanced by the vegan-friendly
process.
Tasting Notes
Palate: The complexity on the nose flows over to the palate. The wine is big and round on entry with silky smooth tannins that show well even though the wine is still young. Nice fruit on the back palate combined with a well-balanced acidity is responsible for a lingering finish and rounds off a perfectly balanced wine.
