Plantagenet 'Lancaster' Mount Barker Shiraz 2019
Plantagenet Lancaster Mount Barker Shiraz is a classic Western Australian red wine. Sourced from the Great Southern region, this wine is built around fruit from the historic Bouverie vineyard, the original plot of land purchased in 1968 to establish the estate. The cool coastal climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly, shaping a savoury, medium bodied Shiraz with natural elegance. The winery nods to founder Tony Smith’s English heritage by naming its premium bottles after royal houses, with this particular wine proudly carrying the Lancaster title. Following a night harvest to protect the freshness of the grapes, the wine rests for seventeen months in French oak barrels. This maturation smooths out the texture and adds a gentle layer of oak spice. In the glass, it delivers a core of dark fruit supported by distinct notes of cracked black pepper and savoury spice. Driven by fine tannins and a long finish, it is a versatile bottle for the dining table. It pairs easily with roast beef, grilled lamb chops, or a mushroom pie.
