Wine Description:
A deep, dark and intense Shiraz from Barrossa. Concentrated blackcurrent fruit, spice and a firm structure.
Tasting Note:
A compelling, dark and rich chocolately beast. A blend unique to Boutinot, this is a classic Barossa Shiraz with intense savoury flavours of thick blackberry compote, black pepper and typical iron-rich beefy flavours. Not a hint of jam here, no sweetness, this is serious Shiraz for grown-ups with balanced acidity, a touch of cocao powder in the finish and tremendous length.
Food Suggestion:
As the name implies, black is the key - anything chargrilled would be superb here, so think griddle pans and barbecues!

Smalltown Vineyards express many of the Barossa’s prized districts form Gomersal, Kalimna as well as the Eden Valley and beyond. We work with exceptional vineyards simply expressed using minimal intervention, basket press where relevant, natural ferments in open top fermenters to best capture the Barossa’s magical flavours.We have a lot of fun with labels because, well because we can. It’s only wine after all…
