Liz Richardson Clare Valley Shiraz 2012
About the wine
Our First Cellar Release
- Good things come to those who wait, and the wait is over! Liz saw the potential of her instantly top-rating Shiraz four years ago and was wise enough to store away some bottles. Of course, it's Angels who get priority access to the final release of her outstanding Clare Valley Shiraz.
- With elegance and finesse, this wine drips with quality. The single-vineyard 30 year old vines are located in Penwortham, at the centre of the world renowned Clare Valley. Having been matured in American oak barrels, it's a wine that has aged wonderfully and become more complex and concentrated.
- Your glass will show beautifully deep crimson colours with a vibrant red hue. The fresh boysenberry aromas are complimented by chocolate, white pepper and spice. Shiraz lovers will delighted with the palate; dominated by red berry flavours, pepper and spice. Medium bodied with a long and persistent finish, this is a top class Shiraz without the top class price. Another win for the Angels who made it possible!
Best before
Drinking fantastically at the moment, the Clare Valley Shiraz is at its peak now and until 2019.
Serving advice
Serve around 18-20°C. Open up and let the wine breathe for an hour or so before drinking, or decant. In hotter weather, try putting the wine in the fridge for 20 minutes so it is not so warm and cloying.
Food match
Perfectly compliments lamb backstrap, served with cous cous salad. Also try a grilled rib eye steak, beef wellington or pasta puttanesca.
