One of our 'go to' super premium Shiraz instore.

"As you might expect from its name, the Paradox Shiraz is not what you would expect from a wine from the warmest parts of the northern Barossa Valley. It's a softer, more gentle, velvet-like and savoury style of wine."

Deep scarlet red in colour. Rose petals, plum, chocolate and cassis aromas leap from the glass. After some time hints of vanilla cream, olive tapenade and sweet oak spice reveal themselves. The palate is soft and plush with loads of dark cherry, plum, chocolate and espresso coffee that leads to an elegant finish of fine tannins.

"Opaque at the core, dark red and purple hued. A fantastic bouquet, nothing but Shiraz all the way through from black licorice to raspberry and blackberry pie. The use of richness from skin contact to earthiness and sweetness of oak suit each other perfectly. A core drive of sweet ripe fruit on the palate showcases the impacts of youth and concentration. Flavours mirror the bouquet from licorice to dark berries. Moderate tannins and plenty of acidity, plenty of extract and baking spice highlights. A lovely wine ready to drink from day of purchase through 2033." Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2021 Vintage)
