Tim Adams Schaefer Shiraz

Tim Adams Schaefer Shiraz 2020 from Clare Valley is a polished, parcel-selected Shiraz with depth, perfume and the sort of fine balance that makes the Schaefer name so respected. It’s matured for 24 months in French oak, and the 2020 vintage was warm and dry, helping concentrate the fruit while keeping the wine graceful.

Expect black cherry, plum and ripe red berry fruit with dark chocolate, vanilla, tobacco leaf and cedary spice. The palate is detailed and powerful yet harmonious, with the oak giving shape rather than overwhelm, so Tim Adams Schaefer Shiraz 2020 feels layered, poised and built for serious drinking.

It is made for beef, lamb and rich red meat dishes with sauce or gravy, where its depth and savoury spice can really come alive. This is the kind of Clare Valley Shiraz that rewards patience in the glass and in the cellar, making it a strong pick for buyers chasing elegance with structure.
