Wine Expert Note:

The Hundred Acre Ancient Way Vineyard Summer's Block Shiraz is a truly exceptional wine that showcases the best of what Shiraz has to offer. On the nose, you will be greeted with a bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark chocolate. These rich and complex aromas are complemented by hints of black pepper, vanilla, and a touch of smoky oak. The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, accompanied by notes of licorice, cloves, and a subtle earthiness. The wine's well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the vibrant acidity adds freshness and length to the finish. Enjoy it with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, game, or aged cheeses to fully appreciate its bold flavors and harmonious character.
