This is a full bodied and rich Shiraz is full of meaty and gamey aromatics. Strong black pepper nose combined with dark and concentrated fruits (think dates and dark plums) and a touch of black olive. The tannins are firm but not aggressive.
2016 Schwarz Wine Co ‘Nitschke Block’ Shiraz, Barossa Valley This is a luscious and rich Shiraz is full of rich meat and game aromatics. Vibrant black pepper nose combined with dark chocolate and concentrated fruits (think dates and dark
plums) and a touch of black olive. The fine grained tannins are firm but not aggressive.
The Nitschke Road Shiraz block was planted in 1968 in Bethany near the base of the Eastern Barossa Range. The vineyard is still pruned and picked by hand and the soils of loam over brown and red clays results in a wine of considerable concentration and drive.
Rich, opulent fruit is the reoccurring theme with this vineyard and it always seems to show great balance and texture year in, year out.
The Nitschke Block Shiraz was the first wine from Schwarz Wine Co back in 2001.
