Tasting Notes

An amazing fruit forward wine with great complexity. The flavours of cherries, strawberries, red mulberries, pomegranate, liquorice, vanilla, red pepper and white pepper meet you on the nose. A very big structured wine with good fruit concentration on the palate. This fruit is carried through in a long lingering aftertaste.

Additional Information

Darling Cellars Reserve is a wine range of straight varietals where the focus is on fruit driven, varietal true, value for money wines. The grapes were harvested from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, where the vines are not trellised and planted as bush vines. Keeping in line with consumers’ need for value without compromising on taste the Black Granite Shiraz is now available in a 2L slimline Bag in Box format. The box also keeps the wine fresher for longer in the fridge and can travel where glass can’t.
