Thicket
South Australia, Australia
Get lost in this deep, lush Shiraz from Australian winemaking expert Peter Leske
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Thicket
Shiraz
Varietal: Shiraz
Region: South Eastern Australia
Winemaker: Peter Leske
MSRP: $16.00
ABV: 13.8$
To make the Thicket 2016 Shiraz Australian winemaking expert Peter Leske joined forces with two Masters of Wine: Giles Cooke and Fergal Tynan (there are only 356 in the world). Their desire was to produce a straightforward take on a classic Aussie wine style. Harvested at night when the temperatures are cooler, and then aged for nine months in French Oak barrels the Shiraz has a solid structure, silky mouthfeel, and an excellent balance between tannins and fruit. The light touches of smoke and cocoa from the oak barrels allows this Shiraz to pair as easily with dessert as it can with a steak. This is a wine, made by masters, that you might never get a chance to try again.

South Australia
From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines. The key is the state's diverse geography and climate. With hot, dry regions like Riverland and cool, coastal areas like the Adelaide Hills, winemakers have an incredible range of grapes and styles at their disposal. South Australia is responsible for more than half of Australia's total wine production and makes some of the country's most prominent wine labels. It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.

TASTING NOTES:
Blackberry
Caramel
Chocolate
Juicy and sweet on the palate, Thicket showcases notes of blackberry and bramble, with notes of caramel and cocoa from the oak aging. This makes for a delightful pairing with alongside fragrant, savory dishes like oxtail stew or beef bolognese, or a perfect counterbalance to the acidity of tomato-based sauces and soups.
