As you might expect from its name, the Paradox Shiraz is not what you would expect from a wine from the warmest parts of the northern Barossa Valley. It's a softer, more gentle, velvet-like and savoury style of wine.
Tasting Note Deep red in colour, the wine opens with cassis and blackcurrant, dark plum and dark chocolate. Following through with presence of dried sage herb, olive tapenade, with vanilla cream. A very soft, plush and powerful palate, blueberry notes, dark cherry fruits, espresso, baking spices, and blackforest cake. Look out for the the attractive rustic/garagiste tannins.
Terroir The northern area of the Barossa Valley has some of the oldest landscapes in the Barossa, with bed rocks forming the famous soils in which the grape vines grow. It is also one of the early grape growing areas of the Barossa, with many generational growers who are both traditional and attuned to the needs of making their vineyards sustainable with modern viticultural thinking.
Treatment The Shiraz grapes are picked earlier than most in the region, for spicier flavours, softer mouthfeel and slightly lower alcohol percentage. The Paradox is matured for 17 months in new and older French oak.
