Kingston Estate Shiraz 2023 (6x 750mL)

Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance

Dense, deep dark red / pitch-black core with a dark red-purple hue — a classic look for a Clare Valley Shiraz.

Nose

Dark plum and liquorice aromas emerge first, joined by smoky vanillin oak and hints of peppered dried herbs.

Some retailers note perfumed mulberry, dark cherry, vanilla, mint and black pepper spice on the bouquet.

Palate

Rich plum, blackberry and liquorice fruit flavours on entry.

Oak influence shows as toasty vanillin characters that can dominate through the finish.

Another description notes the palate as full-bodied, complex yet supple and refined, with blackberries, plum and spice flavors supported by nutmeg and cedar-like tannins.

Texture & Structure

Polished tannins with bright acidity provide structure and balance.

The wine is generally full-bodied and generous, with smooth integration of fruit and oak.
