Decent Barossa Shiraz delivering typical regional character at fair price. Deep ruby-purple. Nose: attractive blackberry, plum, subtle pepper and touch of vanilla. Palate: adequate fruit concentration with straightforward dark berries and hints of spice. Medium to full-bodied with moderate tannins and balanced acidity. Clean finish with moderate length. Accessible introduction to Alkina range and Barossa style. [Rhone Roots 2025, Lumiere London]
