2016 Charles Melton The Kirche Barossa Shiraz Cabernet
An 80/20 blend, the components fermented separately, and matured for 20 months in French barriques before blending. Shirazcabernet blends in the Barossa Valley aren’t easy, but Charles Melton has succeeded brilliantly. The cabernet component plays a key role, with its blackcurrant flavours and firm tannins filling all the gaps. 14.5% alc. RRP $39.90 / 2041 / Charles Melton charlesmeltonwines.com.au
