Welland Near & Far Shiraz 2024
$18, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, South Australia.
The value speaks for itself. This is a plum-driven shiraz with sweet spice top notes and decent extension through the finish.. It feels good in the mouth and serves ripe, medium-weight fruit flavour on a clean, pure platter. No complaints. Clear positives. 90 points.
