Introduction:
Jim Barry Lodge Hill Shiraz is a bold and expressive wine from the Clare Valley, a region renowned for its premium Shiraz. Sourced from estate-grown vines on the eastern ranges, where rich chocolatey loam and rocky terrain create the perfect conditions for low-yielding, intensely flavored fruit, this Shiraz delivers depth, complexity, and a beautifully structured palate.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Deep and brooding, with aromas of black and blue fruits, hints of forest floor, and Christmas cake spice.
- Palate: A layered and enveloping profile of blackberry, bramble, and spice, balanced by rich red cherry and a floral purity.
- Finish: Long and elegant, with a lingering depth of fruit and well-integrated oak.
Pairings:
Pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb, barbecued meats, and aged cheddar. Its dark fruit and spice profile also complement hearty stews, chargrilled vegetables, and rich pasta dishes, making it an excellent choice for bold, flavorful meals.
