Product description
Set in the cool climate area of Adelaide Hills, Sidewood is continuously receiving high praise from leading critics including James Halliday who has consistently given them a five-star rating. Made by award winning winemakers whose CVs include top wineries such as Penfolds and Shaw & Smith, their wines are elegant yet complex.
Carefully hand picked in the early morning to retain acidity only the best grapes from the estate make it into the Mappinga Series. Vibrant and spicy with notes of liquorice and dark chocolate. The palate is intense and concentrated with rich flavours of blackberries, plums and white pepper. Full-bodied with grippy ripe tannins. Awarded 98 points in Decanter Magazine’s July 2018 issue Australian Shiraz Panel Tasting.

Lovely savoury aromas of spiced leather lead into a developing fruit palate of dark berries and sappy, whole-bunch fruit tannins. Refreshing acidity makes it very quaffable. A top-drawer Shiraz that will mature well.
