Natalie's Score: 89/100

Highgate 2021 is an amazing value South Australian Shiraz at $18. Deep, dark violet in the glass and fragrant with red plum, red berry and vanilla aromas, the palate is generous with dark cherry, plum, mulberry, vanilla and pepper spice flavours fresh on the finish. The vineyard experiences warm daytime temperatures giving the grapes time to ripen completely and evenly while the cooler night time temperatures help the grapes to retain their acidity. A youthful and expressive Shiraz with a spicy and elegant finish.

Shiraz food pairings: roast eggplant stuffed with minced veal and raisins, beef ragu, hard cheeses.
