Curtis Winery Terra Rossa Shiraz 2025
AU$65, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.
If you like hearty McLaren Vale shiraz, you will love this. It’s full of fruit, oak and tannin, and it finishes with a resounding push of warm flavour. It tastes of chocolate and roasted plums, bitumen, salted caramel, dried herbs and cream. It kicks deep and it kicks long. In short, it offers plenty.
