M. Chapoutier's Domaine Tournon Lady's Lane Vineyard Shiraz is a compelling Australian wine, boasting a distinct personality shaped by its origin in the Pyrenees hills of Victoria. Displaying a vibrantly deep garnet hue, it upholds a luxuriously rich and smooth profile. This Shiraz entices the palate with intriguing notes of black cherry, dark chocolate, and a hint of peppery spice. With a generous mouthfeel elegantly complemented by firm tannins and a lingering finish, it's a beautifully crafted composition of layered complexities. Enjoy this fruit-driven, full-bodied wine that is both approachable for immediate drinking and deserving of cellar ageing.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: deep ruby colour. Nose: redcurrant, leather, red crushed berries with a hint of toffee, incense and curry. Palate: this is a powerful and generous wine expressing itself with delicacy thanks to a very delicate tannic structure. Intense flavors of ripe fruits and spices combined to a fine acidity – a hyphen between richness and strength reflecting perfectly the terroir of Heathcote
