Spring Seed Shiraz (Organic) 2020 (750ml) Valle d'Itria

Spring Seed Shiraz (Organic) 2020 (750ml) Valle d'ItriaJoch Bosworth and Louise Hemsley Smith farm their vineyards in the eastern hills of McLaren Vale under organics, producing wines like this weird and wonderful shiraz. My first notes on the wine were "beautiful vegetable"; it presented a completely savory style so different from many of the fruit driven wines in our tasting. Half of the wine ferments in old oak barrels, the rest in stainless steel, creating a bright, lithe shiraz with an earthy plum
