FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Flavoursome and juicy displaying fleshy texture and silky tannins"
Straight from the sun-drenched vineyards of South Australia, Gnarly Head Shiraz is fully loaded with plush layers of ripe plum and dark berry fruit. There’s a swirl of spicy oak, a lick of vanilla, and a whisper of rich florals on the nose. In the glass, it’s all pleasure. Bold, flavoursome, and juicy, with a fleshy texture, silky tannins, and a finish that just keeps on giving.
Fire up the BBQ. Roast a big cut of beef. Or just pour a generous glass after work - this one can handle it all. As Sam Kim says: “Upfront and beautifully fragrant... soothing and comforting.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
