Wine review: Small Victories Shiraz
The Small Victories Shiraz is the perfect winter warmer. It’s packed full of those lovely Shiraz flavours without being super jammy. Because it is from the Eden Valley, it is just a little bit softer and beautifully aromatic. It certainly doesn’t drink at its 14.5% ABV! This wine is the perfect drop for enjoying with friends over a BBQ. The sort of wine that is sure to be a crowd pleaser for everyone.
The Small Victories Shiraz is a beautifully youthful, savoury and vibrant wine. Notes of raspberry and blackberry are balanced by spice and finished off by lovely velvety tannins. This wine is a taste sensation, delivering vibrant fruit upfront, then a lovely softer finish with a hint of oak influence. It’s the kind of wine you can keep going back to sip after sip and unpacking more.
