Obelisk Wines Ded Reckoning Shiraz 2019
About the wine
The return of a Naked hero from the cool South coast.
- Another cracking vintage has come and gone in the gorgeous coastal wine regions of South Australia, bringing on the premium fruit that has gone in to this wonderful red! Berries and subtle spice will dance around your tongue as the medium to full bodied mouth feel follows through. All this yum factor plus structure and tannin 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 hints of chocolate, then get this gem in your basket quick smart.
- The maritime influence of their location makes all the difference, keeping 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!
Best before
Ready to go now or enjoy until 2029.
Serving advice
Decant 30 mins before serving at room temperature in front of a nice steak dinner and a cosy fire
Food match
Look, Shiraz and a bloody good rib eye go hand in hand!! But, Shiraz is such a versatile wine, especially a cool climate one with a medium body (we are not the Barossa), like our own.....Its not always about red meat and red wine - for something different, we love this with a Dark Chocolate pavlova with fresh raspberries....try it, you'll be surprised
