image Got a nice shiraz today, from Coonawarra, which is on the border between SA and Vic somewhere between Nooracorte and Mount Gambier. Sort of around the "mediterranean" climate zone in SA, at a stretch, probably microclimates on the vineyards. It's aged 11 years, very little acidity left but strong notes of leather and ginger (powdered, not fresh), iron sort of. Present, but not overbearing fruit cake vibes kind of brandy-like. Definitely cloves. It is very christmas. In terms of pairing, I'm enjoying it on its own but possibly some salami or beef jerky/biltong. It's hard because there's almost no acidity so the pairing probably shouldn't be high in fat (salami is pushing it). Possibly some dried fruit, definitely a fruit cake cos of the tasting notes. #winestr
image Flavour notes say stonefruit, green guava, kiwifruit, floral notes, and nuttiness I get something like peach/apricot, maybe watermelon, artificial lime flavour (like in a lime soda or a lime milkshake), apple, definitely get the kiwifruit And marshmallow, which might be the floral + nuttiness the flavour notes refer to. Just an amateur wine enjoyer learning this stuff lol. But it is a very delicious delicate, sweet, wine. I think it's perfect for spring. Pair it with a mildly sweet salad of apple, crunchy lettuce, some walnuts and a little blue cheese I think, with salty, crunchy, sesame seed crackers. Or possibly just a simple pasta salad with cottage cheese and parmesan sauce. #winestr
