2023 High Altitude Shiraz ‘Niche & Montage’

$44.00

The highest parcel of Shiraz at Balancing Heart, noted for its striking white pepper entourage, this is silky smooth with aromas and flavours of licorice and raspberry coulis. Note the low tannins and natural acidity with naturally no oak.

GOLD – 95 points – Halliday Wine Companion

A silky, highly perfumed, spicy, savoury red with crisp alpine herb nuance and a lift of botanicals and florals in the mix. This is beautiful. So fine boned, with crushed rock minerality and a kitten tongue tannin profile. Great extension of flavour with poise and finesse as bywords. It does well in its minimalism, leaning into its ‘syrah’ credentials, and feels uplifting and fine overall. A sleek and elegant wine indeed.
