Koomilya DC Block McLaren Vale Shiraz is a sumptuous Australian wine with alluring sophistication. Characterised by its deep, unblemished ruby colour, it presents an opulent bouquet of dark berries, spice, and a lick of well-integrated French oak. The palate, elegantly full-bodied, carries an exquisite, complex blend of blackberry and plum interjected by dark chocolate and gentle tannins. Its unique, lingering taste adds a final flourish to a truly lavish experience. Born from the McLaren Vale vineyards, Koomilya's wine reflects the region's distinctive character to perfection. This Shiraz is an impressive embodiment of artistry and excellent winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes

Cool and aromatic, the nose is reminiscent of the Australian bush with blood plums, fresh prunes, citrus and fresh herbs. This Shiraz is the most tannic wine Steve makes. Pleasingly ripe, rich flavours fill all corners of the mouth with blue fruits and Eau de Vie. A finish of dusty earth and roasted meats.
