WineSaint
Delicate and lifted, with cranberry, dried flowers and hints of cured meat floating over a core of earthy minerality. The palate is all finesse - silky texture, gentle tannins, and remarkable freshness for a decade-old wine. This cool-vintage Shiraz shows restraint and precision, finishing long and pure.
