Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Shiraz 2019

The Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Shiraz 2019 is a true gem from the Barossa region. This family-owned winery has been producing exceptional wines for generations, and the Shotfire Shiraz is no exception.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from Thorn-Clarke's older plantings, ensuring a depth of flavor and complexity that can only come from mature vines. The winemaking process is traditional, with a focus on sustainability and quality. The resulting wine spends 14-16 months in a combination of French and American oak, creating a rich, ripe, yet well-balanced style that is sure to impress.

Upon release, the Shotfire Shiraz is already a delight to drink, but it can also be cellared for up to 10 years, allowing the flavors to develop and mature over time. This wine truly embodies the essence of Barossa Shiraz, a style that has made the region world-famous.
