Just a hot tip, Father’s Day is 5 weeks tomorrow 😜 And if your Dad is anything like mine, then he loves his wine. Which makes present shopping very easy 🙌
The lovely team at Dialogue PR recently sent me this lovely #freegift (thank you!) of the Grant Burge ‘Filsell’ 2018 Old Vine Shiraz from SA’s Barossa Valley. And I must admit, it would make a great prezzie for those red wine loving Dads. It retails for approximately $44.
It’s drinking great now however it will age too. From what I’ve read, they reckon it could go up to 20 years from release 😱 It picked up 94 points from Halliday. The vines in the Filsell Vineyard are 100 years Old having been planted in 1920!
In the glass it’s a gorgeous deep red purple colour. Tantalising aromas of juicy blackberries, plums, cherries and a sprinkling of spice rise up from the glass. While in the mouth it’s rather voluptuous, with bold flavours of berries, dark chocolate and coffee. It has nice meaty tannins and a rather savoury character. A serious red wine.
This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.
