The Story Grampians Shiraz 2018 750ml

From the Grampians, this The Story Shiraz 2018 delivers depth and poise with a cool-climate backbone. Dark blackberry and plum drive the fruit, layered with peppery spice and subtle vanilla oak. Firm, refined tannins support a long, savoury finish. A versatile match for roast lamb, grilled beef, or aged cheese; best with a little decanting and 6–12 years of cellaring potential.
