WINE DESCRIPTION

Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Quartage is a premium red wine produced by Thorn-Clarke Wines, a renowned winery in the Barossa Valley region of Australia. The wine is made from a blend of four classic Bordeaux grape varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot - sourced from the estate's vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The vineyards are characterized by their unique terroir, with varying soil types and microclimates that impart complexity and depth to the wine. The winemaking involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including open fermentation, barrel aging, and careful blending to achieve a harmonious balance of fruit, tannins, and oak. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, richly textured red with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and chocolate, and a long, satisfying finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant mingle with notes of baking spices, herbs, and a hint of leather.On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and smooth, with a pleasing balance of ripe fruit and earthy tannins. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of sweetness that rounds out the experience. An impressive wine, capable of being enjoyed now or cellared for a few years.
