Howard Park Flint Rock Great Southern Shiraz 2018

Fruit ripeness, power and finesse comes together in Howard’s Park’s Great Southern offering. Pepper and aniseed mingle with brambly dark fruits on the nose. Plums, blackberries and mulberries combine with pepper, bay leaf, tobacco and leather on the palate. 2018 was a great vintage for the region and this has a “ peppery fruit intensity... 92pts” (Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion). “The palate opens with a good punch of blue fruits then rolls into a meaty and graphite-mineral savoury edge. Good flow and fine tannins give the wine a sense of length and focus. A lot to like here at the price... 92pts” (Stuart Knox The Real Review).
