GCV Celtic Farm Shiraz Cabernet
2021

“Vibrant: Bursting with life and flavor. Bold: It makes a statement with every sip. Velvety: Smooth as silk, caressing your palate”

An attractive vibrant magenta hue. There is early complexity evident on the nose, with notes of warm earth, cigar boxes, licorice, smoked meats and blackcurrants. Winelovers will also find a touch of bergamot and some molten chocolate. Good intensity throughout to be found here, and excellent length. A savoury style with fine balance for the acidity, fruit and tannins. Like this a lot. Enjoy over the next eight to twelve years

Generously fruited and fragrant with blackberry, warm spice, thyme and roasted nut, it’s succulent and weighty in the mouth with silky texture and fine-grained tannins. Generous and flavoursome with tasty flavours, making it highly enjoyable

There’s an impression of authenticity to these Gaelic Cemetery wines. They are both bold with fruit and overtly dry, with enough oak to bolster and support but no more than that. Blackberry, plum, earth and rust characters run gradually into leather, licorice and tar. It’s a balanced, warm, satisfying red.

A deep red in colour with purple hues in the glass, the shiraz gives plum and black cherry, with the cabernet providing brambly blackberry fruit and oak a veneer of richness on the nose. The palate has firm acidity and tannin with more savoury black berry fruits on show, on the mid palate there is a bitter dark chocolate influence before a return of plusher plum like fruit to finish and an inflection of brown spice
