The Story

PARADOX: An opinion or statement contrary to received opinion. The Paradox is not what you might expect from a wine from the Northern Barossa. It’s not the high octane, lots of new oak stereotypical Northern Barossa Shiraz, but rather a softer more gentle, velvet-like and savoury style of wine.

Written Notes

From a special patch of family-owned vineyard in the northern Barossa. A paradox of a Barossa Shiraz, it’s all soy, licorice and even a little mint, with layers of dark fruit flavour echoing off cocoa powder oak, the palate more dark and meaty rather than fleshy. I love the ‘other’ nature of this savoury red. Maybe a fraction warm to finish? Really quite well contained and tasty, in a mode that I want to drink. Best drinking: Now but I feel this has an ageless to it as well. I’d like to pull out a bottle as a fifteen year old too. 18/20, 93/100. 14%, $47. Would I buy it? Worth a bottle.
