2021 Yalumba Paradox Shiraz

Plush and velvety with a long sumptuous finish.

One of Yalumba’s distinguished site wines, the Paradox is sourced from the Northern Barossa and is made with an emphasis on velvet like texture and the use of less new oak than many of its counterparts. Maturation taking place in French oak puncheons, with only 10% new oak employed, for a period of 16 months.
Dense pitch black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Potent blackberry, dark plum and liquorice aromas waft from the glass followed by some subtlety smoked vanillin cedar, scorched earth and blackpepper notes. Rich and plush the full bodied palate is awash with blackberry, dark plum and liquorice fruit. Smoky vanillin cedar, earthy mocha and peppered fennel elements lie beneath. Outstanding power with velvet smooth tannins and a long sumptuous finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14%
