The Story
Serafino Black Label Shiraz 2021 is a benchmark expression of McLaren Vale winemaking, showcasing a deeply concentrated, full-bodied profile. On the nose, it displays inviting, complex aromas of black cherries, dark plums, and fresh violets seamlessly woven with undertones of dried meat, crushed stone, and a fine hint of green tobacco. The palate delivers an incredibly rich, creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity, unleashing a powerful core of blackberry fruit, dark chocolate, and subtle mint, all framed neatly by round, savory tannins that persist through a long, velvety finish.
Food Pairing: This robust wine pairs excellently with espresso-rubbed flank steak, grilled rosemary lamb cutlets, gourmet venison stews, or savory flame-broiled blue cheese burgers.
93 Points - James Suckling
A creamy-textured shiraz with blackberry, dried-meat and crushed-stone character. Some green tobacco, too. Medium to full body, round tannins and a savory finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
