Serafino McLaren Vale Shiraz 2013
Serafino Wines Tasting Note
This Sorrento Shiraz is a full flavoured McLaren Vale Shiraz with lifted cherry, plum and gentle spices to fill the palate. The palate shows elegant fruit, full of flavour and richness. This is a pristine Shiraz sourced especially for you. Alc/Vol: 14.5%
Wine House Tasting Note
Even-tempered shiraz from McLaren Vale.Quality fruit. Clean as a whistle, lively, unencumbered. Free of spirit. Plum and dark berries with input from smoked spice. 100% attractive to drink. This is a style of wine to hang your hat on. High value, I’d argue. 93 Points
Dan Murphys Tasting Note
McLaren Vale and Shiraz – the perfect match. Steve Maglieri is the icon behind the Serafino name and his Shiraz is a typically wonderful full-flavoured and full-bodied red with the black and red fruits you can handle. A rich and voluptuous palate with a silken, textured finish that is a perfect match to big, rich beef dishes or a robust lamb ragu. 95 points
Vivino Tasting Note
Very fruity and peppery, tannins at the front. Pleasant drinking and may smooth out with some more cellaring.
