Johns Blend Margarete's Shiraz is a single-vineyard Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, South Australia, crafted by John Duval Wines. It's named in honor of John Duval's wife, Margarete, and represents a selection of exceptional Shiraz from a specific block within their vineyard. Expect a wine of intensity, elegance, and regional character. Tasting Note: Nose: Concentrated aromas of dark plum and blackberry mingle with complex notes of spice (black pepper, clove), licorice, and subtle hints of mocha or dark chocolate. A touch of violet or floral lift may also be present. Palate: Full-bodied and powerful yet elegant, showcasing rich, dark fruit flavors that are both generous and focused. The tannins are typically fine-grained and well-integrated, providing structure and a velvety texture. The acidity is balanced, leading to a long and harmonious mouthfeel. Finish: The finish is long and persistent, echoing the dark fruit and spice notes with a subtle savory complexity. It's a Shiraz built for aging, promising further development and nuance over time
