Tin Shed 'Single Wire' Shiraz 2021

Tin Shed 'Single Wire' Shiraz 2021 is a bold and expressive wine from the Barossa Valley, one of Australia’s most famous wine regions. Tin Shed, a small boutique winery founded in 1997, focuses on crafting small-batch wines that reflect the unique character of the Barossa terroir. The 'Single Wire' Shiraz is made from carefully selected low-yielding vineyards, with an emphasis on minimal intervention and sustainable practices. The 2021 vintage benefited from near-perfect conditions, producing a Shiraz with both intensity and balance. Aged in French oak, this wine showcases the depth and richness that Barossa Shiraz is known for, while maintaining a refined elegance.

Appearance: Deep purple with a dense, almost opaque core and hints of crimson at the rim, reflecting the wine’s youthful energy and concentration.

Aroma: The nose bursts with ripe blackberries, dark plums, and black cherries, accompanied by black pepper, liquorice, and a touch of vanilla and cedar from the oak. There are subtle hints of earthy spice that add complexity.

Taste: Full-bodied and rich, the palate delivers concentrated flavours of blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry. The wine is structured with smooth, velvety tannins, complemented by notes of black pepper, dark chocolate, and liquorice. The oak influence is integrated seamlessly, adding depth without overpowering the fruit.

Finish: Long and lingering, with persistent dark fruit, spice, and a subtle smoky oak finish that leaves a lasting impression.

Food Pairings: This Shiraz pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye steak, where its robust tannins and dark fruit complement the richness of the beef. It also works exceptionally well with slow-braised lamb shanks, enhancing the depth and savoury flavours of the dish.
