COOK1788 Shiraz
This full-bodied Shiraz captivates with its bold structure and pronounced flavors of ripe plums, vibrant red currants, and luxurious mocha, culminating in a long, opulent finish that lingers memorably. Meticulously crafted from hand-selected grapes grown in South Australia’s sun-drenched vineyards, the wine undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 18 months of aging in premium French oak barrels. This process enhances its complexity, imparting subtle undertones of dark chocolate and vanilla while refining its velvety tannins.
Perfect Pairing:
COOK1788 Shiraz is an exceptional companion to robust dishes. Its rich fruit profile and structured acidity beautifully complement smoky grilled meats (such as barbecued ribs or lamb chops), hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based ragù or wild mushroom cream sauces, and aged hard cheeses. A wine of both power and elegance, it is equally suited for savoring on its own, allowing its layered flavors to unfold with every sip.
Key Highlights:
Flavor Spectrum:** Dominant plum and red currant notes enriched by mocha and oak-derived spices.
Texture:** Silky yet firm tannins frame a dense, velvety palate.
Aging Potential:** Built to evolve gracefully over the next 8–10 years.
Terroir Expression:** Embodies the intensity and warmth of South Australia’s iconic Shiraz-growing regions.
