Fuzzy & May Reserve Shiraz 2019
About the wine
Top Shelf Hunter glory!
Damien and Jodie’s Reserve Shiraz will only be made in the finest years. For their first ever release they have selected the best fruit from an exceptional Hunter vintage. Matured in oak for 12 months to get great integration, it still displays amazing freshness of fruit.
Bright red fruits, plums and spice jump out of the glass, all with an amazing savoury backbone. It’ll have you coming back for more!
A wine of this calibre would normally sell for over $40 in the retail market. It’s a bargain for Angels at under $18.
Best before
This wine will age well for the next 5 - 7 years if cellared correctly.
Serving advice
It will benefit from some decanting, I would suggest as a young wine that it could be decanted for 30 min prior to consumption.
Food match
We love the Italian pairing with our wines. Go for a seasoned roast beef and vegetables....simple is always best.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label
