Description

The Beast, a fitting partner to the Beauty, is a wine of intensity...

Selected from a single block high on the estate peak, where the soils are shallow and exposure to sunlight is long, the Beast embodies a powerful concentration of flavour and bold richness. Structured with soft grippy tannin and balanced with enticing complexity, a robust wine befitting of this name.

Review
Deep crimson. Intense dark chocolate cedar, black berry aromas with hits of wax polish. Beautifully balanced wine with pure blackberry pastille fruits, velvety form tannins and underlying roasted chestnut, cedar notes. Finishes Claret-firm with minerally notes. A beastly good Barossa Shiraz with very good ageing potential. Drink 2028–2042.

Food Pairing

Consider grilling, barbecuing, or roasting meats like beef, lamb, or pork to complement the wine's intensity. For a snack, try aged salamis, chorizo, beef jerky, or even dark chocolate.
