From Tahbilk’s historic Nagambie Lakes estate, the Eric Pubrick Shiraz is a bold, cellar-ready expression of cool-climate Australian Shiraz. Old-vine fruit delivers depth and concentration, while integrated oak adds nuance without overpowering the fruit. Aromas and flavors reveal dark berry fruit, black pepper, and baking spices, with a touch of cocoa. Tannins are firm but refined and the acidity keeps the wine balanced. Pairs well with grilled lamb, pepper-crusted steak, and hearty mushroom dishes.
