Chockstone Shiraz is a nice ripe beauty, displaying overt brambly notes and has a soft and generous palate. But don’t be fooled, under that opulent exterior lies a seriously complex and age-worthy wine. A richly layered palate of blackberries, cassis, dark chocolate and black pepper spice is augmented with hints of violets, bacon fat, and liquorice. These layers of flavour give way to a warm, velvety structure and lead into a long, plush finish.
