Willow Bridge Black Dog Shiraz 2021 from Willow Bridge Estate in Geographe is a powerful expression of the vintage, showcasing a rich dark red colour with crimson edges. It boasts a complex, vibrant bouquet featuring aromas of licorice all sorts, cardamom, gentle tobacco, and dark plums. On the palate, expect intense varietal character with layers of inky black cherry, plum power, and fine white pepper tannins, offering good structure and a lingering, tongue-staining finish. This Shiraz is full-bodied with supple tannins that balance fruit sweetness and richness beautifully.

This wine pairs exceptionally well with robust dishes such as grilled or roasted red meats, including lamb and beef, as well as game. It is also versatile enough to match spicy dishes and aged cheeses.
