Metala Semper Fidelis Shiraz is crafted by Metala Wines in Langhorne Creek, South Australia, drawing from century-old vines. The wine opens with lush aromas of blackberry, dark plums, and cassis, edged by warm spice and sweet oak. On the palate it is full-bodied yet polished, with generous forest fruit, plush vanillin oak tannins, and a creamy, silky texture that emphasises richness without heaviness. Balanced acidity gives shape and poise, while the finish is long and lingering. At 14.5% ABV, screw-cap sealed and vegan-friendly. 95/100, crowned with a Double Gold medal at the China Wines & Spirits Awards.
