A bold, fruit-forward Shiraz from Agricola Ebenezer, vintage 2023. It opens with plum and blackberry on the nose, lifted by black pepper and subtle oak. The palate is full-bodied with ripe, structured tannins and balanced acidity, making it a versatile match for grilled meats and hearty stews. Drink now through the mid-2020s.
