Earthworks Barossa Shiraz 2022

$14.99

Yet another Barossa Shiraz with great value.  

"There’s no mistaking the variety and fruit core of this wine with a dark cherry and blackcurrant bouquet, violets and white pepper, chocolate and barrel spices. Firm and dry on the palate with core berry fruit and currant flavours reflecting the bouquet, medium tannins and a backbone of acidity frame the palate nicely. Well made, dry and ready to drink from 2024 through. 90/100 Cameron Douglas  

"The earthworks Shiraz is a testament to Barossa's synergy with the variety. Rich and round with soft tannins, this is a wine that displays all that is great about generous Barossa Shiraz.

This wine differentiates itself by showing ripe and generous flavours of Barossa Shiraz while giving the wine lover only a lick of tannin. Vibrant ruby red with crimson and magenta hues. A compote of dark berries and Satsuma plums supported with spicy liquorice, mocha, vanilla and black pepper accents. Then hints of boysenberry and strawberry all converge and take your senses on a journey." Winery  

"Attractively ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, sweet cherry, rich floral, almond and warm spice aromas.
The palate displays succulent fruit intensity, combined with supple texture and balanced tannins, offering excellent drinking.
At its best: now to 2030." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2024  

'Sourced from a range of growers throughout the Barossa, the wine spent ten months maturing in a mix of French, American
and Hungarian oak. Crimson/purple, there are aromas of roast meats, dark fruits, warm earth, florals, raspberries and plums.
Good length here with impressive intensity and sleek tannins so would be perfect for a steak or a good barbecue. Good value. 92/100 Ken Gargett, WinePilot.com, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
