Obelisk Wines Ded Reckoning Shiraz 2015
About the wine
The return of a Naked hero from the cool South coast.
- The 2015 vintage of Anna and Derek's beloved Ded Reckoning range brings a new level of deliciousness to the table! Berries and subtle spice will dance around your tongue as the medium to full bodied mouth feel follows through. All this yum factor plus chalky tannins to finish, need we say more??
- This warming and moreish red exemplifies the Hoopers' dedication to minimal intervention winemaking and excellence in producing cool climate styles. If you're after an undeniably elegant Shiraz that will seduce you with it's cheeky hints of chocolate, then get this gem in your basket quick smart.
- The Limestone coast is wild and constantly buffeted by the elements of the Southern Ocean. It's this maritime influence that makes all the difference, keeping the temperatures down so that fruit ripens slower, leading to extremely high concentration of flavours. All up, you'd be mad to miss trying this creature, especially at under $14 for Angels!
