Shiraz Cienna 2022
Innocent Bystander
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
This unsuspecting blend of Shiraz and Cienna is ultra-smooth and sultry; packed with delicious red berries and hints of vanilla bean. The ultimate people pleaser, this smooth red boasts a medium body with plenty of balance and soft, silky tannins. It’s like a fiery tango between two passionate partners, that’ll leave you doing a little shimmy in your seat.
Syrah is a smooth, sophisticated expression of Shiraz and the cool hillsides of the Yarra Valley are perfect for making this intriguing style. Generous in fruit but restrained in oak, subtly perfumed and tantalisingly spicy it’s made to be savoured.
This delectable red fares well with duck in spicy plum sauce, seafood paella, blue cheeses, and dark chocolate.
Cold soaked for 2 days followed by 7 days on skins and then matured for a short time with a combination of French and American oak, before being bottled. Vegan-friendly.
