Tasting notes: Dark in colour, deep in flavour and rich in texture; the Velvet Glove is our ultimate expression of Fruit Weight™. Black plum, blueberries and roasted coffee intermingle with anise in its lifted fragrance. A supremely smooth mouth-feel like molten chocolate accentuates the precise balance of structure whilst liquorice and allspice linger on the palate. Indulge yourself with this outstanding example of a perfectly balanced McLaren Vale Shiraz.
