Utopos Wines

2019 SHIRAZ

With 6% mataro, destemmed with some whole berries and aged in French oak hogsheads (40% new) for 2 years. Deep red purple in the glass, with a perfumed cascade of satsuma plum and macerated blackberry characters, underscored by hints of baking spice, licorice, dark chocolate, vanilla and cedar. The balance is impeccable, with great fruit purity and detail throughout its length; the classy, cedary cut of French oak perhaps a little more noticeable on the palate. Deep, resonant and long, with über-ripe tannins and a sense of brightness to its form. DB 14.5% alc.

$70 / 2038

What is special about this wine, and when do you believe it will be at its peak for drinking?

The Utopos vineyard straddles the bounds of Marananga and Greenock, and is one of the most elevated sites on the western aspect of the Valley producing outstanding cellar-worthy wines. A great example of power and finesse, this wine will mature with poise and dignity over the longer term.
