The Thing Barossa Shiraz

The Thing is our top of the line Shiraz here at Sorby Adams. Sourced from fruit grown in low yielding hand pruned Barossa Shiraz vineyards dating back to the 1930’s these vines are some of the oldest in the region. Only our best barrels make their way into this classic, cool-climate Shiraz and the new 2016 release shows again, why the old-vine fruit of the Barossa and Eden Valley’s is so highly sought after. Deep inky magenta with a purple hue. This is magnificently fruited and gloriously expressed on the nose showing blackberry, spiced plum, chocolate tart, cake spice and cedar characters. A sumptuous palate that is opulent and impressively weighted. The wine is powerfully graceful with a seamless flow to an impressively long engaging finish. Try with rare roast beef. : At its best: now to 2031. : Shiraz – sourced from Eden Valley and Barossa Valley: Try this with Roast beef. Alcohol: 15.0% Acidity: 6.6 g/l pH: 3.56
