From Saltram’s premium Journal range, Saltram Journal Shiraz 2017 is a robust Barossa Shiraz with depth and length. It opens with dark berry aromas—blackberry and plum—plus cocoa, espresso, and spice from oak. The full-bodied palate delivers concentrated fruit, velvety tannins, and a long, savory finish. Enjoy now or over the next few years; pairs well with grilled lamb, ribeye, or hearty stews.
