👁 In the Glass:
Deep crimson with a violet rim—vibrant and polished.

👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and layered, with notes of dark cherry, blueberry, black pepper, and violets. Subtle hints of graphite, charcuterie, and cedar add intrigue.

👅 On the Palate:
Medium-bodied and focused, with fine tannins and lifted acidity. The palate reveals dark forest fruits, olive tapenade, spice, and a stony minerality. Structured and long, with a savoury, graceful finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with roast duck, lamb shoulder, chargrilled vegetables, or mushroom polenta. A refined red for elegant and flavourful cuisine.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Outstanding now with decanting; cellar 10–15 years for complexity and evolution.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Balhannah Shiraz is a benchmark cool-climate Australian red—crafted with Burgundian precision, Rhône-like savouriness, and Adelaide Hills purity. A cerebral and soulful expression of site and variety.
