2022 Paperbark Shiraz

With a gold medal-winning pedigree, 2022 Paperbark Shiraz displays the deliciously rich, intense fruit flavor synonymous with Australian Shiraz. Crimson red with purple hues, this red wine entices with concentrated aromas of plum and spice with subtle hints of vanilla. Juicy blackberries, black cherries, and red currants burst forth on the palate, with spicy oak and soft tannins combining to give this medium-bodied Shiraz a lingering finish. From a fifth-generation winemaking family in South Australia, Paperbark wines are as loveable as their namesake: an Australian tree with peeling bark and fluffy white flowers. Made from grapes ripened under the intense Australian sun, optimal flavor is developed with minimal intervention. These conditions lead to wines with expressive personality. Enjoy 2022 Paperbark Shiraz when grilled meats and roast vegetables are on the menu. Lovely for sipping on its own, it also complements bold dishes, such as beef stew, braised beef, roasted leg of lamb, and aged hard cheeses.
