2019 Starlight Ridge Shiraz

Say G’Day to rich flavor in 2019 Starlight Ridge Shiraz, an Australian red that follows in the delicious footsteps of the previous gold medal-winning vintage. Crimson with purple glimmers in the glass, this dry red wine is true to the fruit-forward nature of Australian Shiraz. It offers enticing aromas of plum and spice with hints of vanilla and oak. The palate delivers juicy black cherry and red currant notes joined by spicy oak and soft tannins that lead to a lingering finish. Grapes were grown in South Eastern Australia, a vast area that’s home to world-renowned wine regions and diverse soils. Shiraz is the most widely planted red variety here, and winemakers utilized careful handling and techniques to allow for maximum flavor extraction from grapes. 2019 Starlight Ridge Shiraz is the perfect pairing partner for barbecued meats and chicken. It will also complement grilled vegetables and hard cheeses. The wine’s best flavors emerge when decanted for around 30 minutes.
