‘Black Ops’ Shiraz Saperavi 2019
My hunch was that the most ancient grape on the planet, Saperavi, would make for a unique union with McLaren Vale’s prized Shiraz. The elixir was covertly blended and like other ‘black operations’ a Pandora’s box of flavour was opened. A wine for KGB, CIA and civilians. Seek & embrace the unusual

| Winemaker's Notes | At the Western end of our Black Sheep Block is a pocket of Shiraz that lands a mighty punch of meaty-spiciness that couples perfectly with our exotic Saperavi. Contrasting, but complimentary and complex, this has fast become the backbone of the Black Ops Blend. |
| Drink | Now through 10 years |
| Bouquet | White pepper, dried ginger, raspberry and cinnamon. Violets and rye soaked in soy sauce, sandalwood and black olives. |
| Palate | Full bodied, intense in character and texture. An exotic and delicious printers’ ink full of tales of daring along the spice road. |
| Food Match | Team it up with a classic Reuben Sandwich; perhaps swap out the corned beef for smoky beetroot to match the mix. |
| Analysis | ALC: 14.9% TA: 6.7 PH: 3.59 RS: <2.5g/L |
