Red Wine

Yalumba Galway Vintage Shiraz 2021, Barossa, Australia: So perfumed, this wine is delicious with notes of Black Doris plum, blackberry, violet, clove, and a touch of toasted nuts. The palate is richly textured, showcasing excellent weight and concentrated ripe fruit flavors. Silky and well-balanced with supple tannins, it is a wine that is a delight to savour. Enjoy now or cellar through 2028. Shiraz food pairings: Roasted lamb, BBQ ribs.
