Pontifex Shiraz 2018
Barossa, Australia
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
91/100 | Halliday Wine Companion
91/100 | Melbourne International Wine Competition
Pontifex Wines is a Barossa Valley vineyard owned by Sam and Helen Clarke of Thorn-Clarke. Whilst still very much involved with Thorn-Clarke, Pontifex is a separate, small family concern that revolves around their own 17 acre vineyard where they live, between Tanunda and Nuriootpa. They produce just two wines - a shiraz and a grenache shiraz mourvedre.
This is rich and fulsome Barossa Shiraz with layers of spiy dark fruits with hints of wood spice and anise adding a further layer of complexity and charm. Very well made. Recommended.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Upfront dark fruit richness with dark chocolate, tapenade, hazelnut and rich floral lead to a concentrated palate that's splendidly ripe and flavoursome. Complex, beautifully layered and persistent with a velvety finish."
