La Curio Reserve Shiraz 2018 offers classic Australian Shiraz intensity with measured elegance. It presents a deep, concentrated core supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity. Oak influence brings spice and mocha notes that harmonize with dark fruit flavours of blackberry and plum. Designed for robust dishes, it also has cellar potential to integrate further over several years.
