Izway Don Shiraz 2019 1.5L

Description

Product Description: Depth, structure, and quiet authority define the Izway Don Shiraz 2019 1.5L, a Barossa Valley wine shaped by old-vine intensity and a philosophy of thoughtful restraint. Drawn from carefully selected vineyard parcels, the fruit reflects the generosity of the region while maintaining impressive composure and balance. The 2019 growing season delivered steady ripening conditions, allowing flavours to develop fully while preserving the natural acidity that keeps the wine poised rather than heavy. In the glass, it reveals a layered personality; powerful yet controlled, with an underlying freshness that carries its richness effortlessly. Whole-bunch fermentation introduces aromatic lift and structural finesse, while maturation in predominantly seasoned French oak frames the fruit without overshadowing it. Dark fruit concentration is matched by savoury nuance, giving the wine both immediate presence and long-term promise. There is a sense of architecture here, with fine tannins providing shape and direction toward a persistent finish. Presented in magnum format, the wine gains an additional dimension of ageing capability, evolving slowly and gracefully over time. It is a Shiraz suited to collectors, celebratory tables, or anyone who understands that great Barossa wines reveal their full story with patience. Decanting in its youth will reward the drinker, while extended cellaring will deepen its complexity. Tasting Notes NOSE – Dark and expressive Aromas of blackberry, black plum, and boysenberry layered with cracked pepper, star anise, dark chocolate, and subtle dried herb notes. Gentle floral hints emerge with air, adding elegance to its depth. PALATE – Powerful yet composed Full-bodied with concentrated black fruits, olive tapenade, baking spice, and cocoa. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while balanced acidity keeps the palate focused and energetic. FINISH – Long and structured A persistent, savoury finish marked by spice, earth, and polished tannins, leaving a lasting impression of depth and precision. Reviews & Accolades Izway continues to champion a style that captures Barossa richness while retaining detail, spice and structural integrity.
