Yalumba Samuels Collection Shiraz

Sourced from Barossa vineyards where the vines range from young (approximately 10 – 15 years old) to old (greater than 35 years). They are planted in a diverse range of sites and have slight variations in micro-climates and soil types, including red brown earths, sandy loams or dark clay soils. These variations contribute to the diversity of flavours in Samuel’s Collection Barossa Shiraz.

Initially soft and inviting on the palate there are plums, chocolate and cinnamon notes. Over time the wine shows itself to be generous and encompassing as it reveals dark fruit, hazelnut, toffee, clove and floral aromas. With a perfectly balanced and silky palate it offers good length and a savoury finish.

This wine was made to be paired with food. Enjoy with a slow cooked leg of lamb with thyme, sage and rosemary served with baked potatoes. Alternatively, a white pizza sauce base topped with thinly sliced potato, sage, rosemary and rock salt would be delicious.
