Five Geese Reserve “Jon’s Block” Shiraz, crafted by Mike Farmilo from a single vineyard block in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, showcases mature complexity and regional depth. Bright garnet with slight bricking at the rim, it offers aromas of blackberry, plum, dried herbs and warm spice. The palate is full‑bodied and supple, layered with black cherry, dark chocolate, sweet tobacco and cedar, supported by fine, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. A touch of ironstone earthiness adds minerality and focus. Elegant and refined, this vintage offers harmonious structure and a lingering finish. Ideal with grilled meats or slow braises.
