Padthaway
'The Brave' Shiraz 2004
Padthaway Shiraz has a vibrancy and intensity that is so inviting in the glass. The small component of McLaren Vale Shiraz provides great earthiness that combines perfectly. Aromas reminiscent of spicy plums and chocolate compliment the rich, mouth filling complexity of the wine. Careful oak maturation increases the wines complexity without dominating it’s distinctive Shiraz character.
