This Brand's Laira from Coonawarra is a classic and well structured cool climate shiraz varietal, generous in weight with wonderful balance and a fine-tannin structure. With aromas of liquorice and blackberries melding into some vanillin oak with light pepper end notes, the palate is medium bodied, delivering vibrant flavours of plum, liquorice, and blueberry with hints of spice, and a touch of savoury game. A soft supple mouthfeel with fine grained tannins balance those lingering fruit flavours, making this a lovely match for char-grilled eye fillet with a pepper infused red wine jus accompanied by crunchy roasted vegetables.
