Eloquesta Winter Harvest Shiraz 2018 from Mudgee, NSW, Australia, is a late-harvest masterpiece that showcases richly concentrated, raisined Shiraz bunches, harvested just before winter. This wine offers a luscious nose bursting with red and purple fruit confectionery, plum, cherry, blackberries, and subtle blackcurrant syrup aromas. The palate reveals decadent notes of plum pudding, dusty cherries, floral pipe tobacco, Monte Carlo biscuit, and fruit leather, all wrapped in a rich acid length with fine, refined tannins. The texture is smooth and elegant, without any hard edges, making it approachable yet complex. This artisan wine has been aged for five years in French, Hungarian, and Russian oak barrels on lees, resulting in remarkable concentration and roundness. Eloquesta Winter Harvest Shiraz 2018 pairs beautifully with rum raisin chocolate, a well-seasoned rib-eye fillet, or kangaroo, perfect for sharing in great company and mood. It is suitable for aging up to 10 years.
