Thorn Clarke Shotfire Shiraz 2022 from Thorn-Clarke in Barossa Valley is a bold, full-bodied Shiraz with plenty of dark fruit swagger, smoky oak and that classic regional richness that makes the Shotfire name so dependable. It is a polished, crowd-pleasing red with real Barossa warmth.

Expect satsuma plum, blackberry and black cherry with liquorice, dark chocolate, five spice and a savoury smoky oak thread. The palate is rounded, plush and generous, with taut tannins and a long finish, giving Thorn Clarke Shotfire Shiraz 2022 the kind of depth and drink-now appeal that keeps you coming back for another glass.

It is a great match for barbecue ribs, grilled steak, lamb shanks or slow-cooked beef, where its ripe fruit and savoury oak will really come alive. This is the sort of Barossa Shiraz that delivers immediate impact, comfort and value in one generous package.
