Schwarz Wine Co. Barossa Shiraz 2013
‘I see your Schwarz is as big as mine!’
Ah Spaceballs, you never grow old (with apologies to Jason Schwarz).Speaking of, this Schwarz Shiraz is a youthful number too. All the Schwarz reds look just-bottled actually, built in a rich and oaky style that is immediately easygoing.
A blend of 86% Shiraz 14% Mataro, this is inky purple in colour and dripping with sweet purple fruit and sweet vanilla oak, served with and a licorice side salad. It’s very rich, milk chocolate oaky and very sweet, the generosity a real feature point.Going to be a very popular wine this, though just too much about sweetness (oak and fruit, not sugar) to seduce me.
