Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz 2019
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 are inspired by our country, our people and our winelands. That’s why
we give our wines special names. 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!
The Dark Horse is our touchstone, our mantra, our moving target, our other
name, our dreams reflected.
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.
