Weathercraft One Acre Project Reserve Shiraz 2021 is a limited-release Australian red designed for depth and balance. It shows a deep, opaque color with a layered bouquet of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, and spice, plus subtle vanilla from oak. On the palate it is full-bodied, richly textured, and well structured, finishing long with peppery notes. Pairs well with grilled lamb, ribeye, game meats, and aged cheeses; also suitable for short-term cellaring to gain complexity.
