First Drop Fat of the Land Greenock Shiraz 2021 from First Drop Wines in Barossa Valley erupts with monumental ironstone power and dark fruit majesty, a Greenock sub-region beast that channels ancient dry-grown vines and searing heat in every impenetrable black pour.

The nose thunders with concentrated blackberry reduction, liquorice root and blood plum in First Drop Fat of the Land Greenock Shiraz 2021, laced with espresso grinds, smoked meats, black pepper and savoury ironstone earth – palate roars with dense dark fruits, chewy graphite tannins and pulsating acid core that builds relentlessly.

Decant for wood-fired Black Angus rib-eye, slow-roasted lamb forequarter, kangaroo with bush tomato glaze or mature Roquefort – this trophy Barossa Valley Greenock Shiraz 2021 demands reverence and cellar worship.
