Eloquesta Shiraz Petit Verdot 2019 from Mudgee, NSW, Australia, presents a deep garnet blue purple colour that instantly draws attention. Its nose is expressive with enticing aromas of pink marshmallow, plum, violets, and blueberry jam. On the palate, it reveals long, soft, and deep flavours of plummy purple and blue fruits, blueberry, and earthy beetroot, finishing with a surprisingly persistent red berry gummy bear note. The wine is beautifully balanced with an elegant length that keeps you coming back for more, and it is one that can be enjoyed for a decade or more. This artisan blend showcases the rich, pure fruit of Shiraz combined seamlessly with the acid structure and aromatic profile of Petit Verdot, resulting in a uniquely harmonious wine. It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like roasted lamb, grilled beef, or aged cheeses.
