‘S’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017

Each year, Matt tastes through all the barrels and selects the very best for this flagship wine. The first release was nominated for the George Mackay Trophy as Australia’s Best Exported Wine. Smidge S has consistently returned 94+ point wines since Matt created that first vintage back in 2002.

In the glass, the ‘S’ has a black core with a deep red rim. There are elegant aromas of red/black fruits and spicy, earthy notes with hints of grilled meats, graphite and controlled oak. On the palate, the fruit continues with rich plums and blueberries with delicate spice and chocolate which all roll onto a juicy palate with fine tannins that go on and on.

The elegant bottle with minimalist labelling makes this an attractive and highly desirable gift for those who know their wine and love shiraz.

The S Wines from Smidge Wines is available for sale exclusively direct from the winemaker online or at our Cellar Door.
