Thorn-Clarke has been growing grapes in the Barossa Valley for six generations and has recently moved into winemaking with considerable success. The “Shotfire” range bridges the gap between its entry-level and top-flight wines and consistently represents excellent value.
From the winemaker – “Deep red colour, with a lifted and intense nose of blackberry fruit, sweet spice and dark chocolate. The palate is very rich and flavoursome with blackberry and plum fruit. In addition to the primary fruit characters there is plenty of complexity in this wine with spice and earthy notes. There is heaps of mouth filling flavour complemented by chalky tannins. There is great length of fruit as well.”
Serve with rack of lamb, leg of lamb and lamb chops, pork spare ribs. Hard, savory cheeses like Parmigiano, Romano and Cheddar.
