The Cuttings

2005 Eden Valley Shiraz

Poonawatta Estate The Cuttings, a remarkable Shiraz from the esteemed Eden Valley, showcases the region's signature style with exceptional finesse. This full-bodied red wine reveals a deep garnet hue, inviting you to explore its rich aromas of dark fruit, including ripe blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of spice and earth. With bright acidity, the wine feels lively on the palate, while the well-integrated tannins provide a structured backbone that enhances its complexity. As a dry wine, it perfectly balances its fruit-forward character with a savory finish, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes or a leisurely evening by the fireplace. The 2005 vintage stands out as a testament to the craftsmanship at Poonawatta Estate, offering a wine experience that is both fulfilling and memorable.
