Rocky Gully Shiraz from the team at Frankland Estate is a bright, fresh and lively wine. It has ripe fruit overtones with dark cherries, spiced plum, black pepper and spice with subtle integration of oak. Its mid-weight palate has serious intent; bright florals, juicy fruit and a lifted integration of earthy spice note and black pepper. Soft mouth-coating tannin, a creamy texture and subtle oak provides a poised, elegant finish. The small additions of Touriga National, Malbec, and a dash of Viognier give complexity and aromatic lift along with subtle texture. Good acidity and fine tannins combine to create a soft finishing, nicely weighted cool-climate style.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
