Gatt Shiraz comes across as a classic Barossa red with real depth, ripe flavour and the sort of presence that makes Shiraz so easy to enjoy. The Gatt Shiraz shows dark plum, blackberry and black cherry up front, then brings in pepper, liquorice, truffle and a savoury balsamic edge for a finish that feels rich and compelling.

The palate is full-bodied and generously fruited, yet it keeps a good sense of structure through the middle. There’s a plush, layered feel here, with smooth tannins and enough freshness to stop the wine from tipping into heaviness. It’s the kind of Shiraz that feels immediately rewarding, but also serious enough to hold a place at the dinner table or in the cellar.

Serve it with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, slow-cooked beef cheeks or smoky barbecue, where the dark fruit and savoury spice can really shine. This is a confident, full-flavoured red with plenty of charm, and it makes a strong case for stocking up.
