Andrew Peace, Shiraz 2021
Victoria, Australia, Dry Red, Screwcap, 13.5% abv(2022) Shiraz from the Murray River in Victoria ("with a touch of Tempranillo"), this is the colour of cranberry juice, and aromas are a mix of red and black berries. In the mouth its a gluggable mouthful for the barbecue or to wash down a pizza, enough easy-going fruit to make up for the hint of harshness from, I would guess, adjusted acidity and a little oak chip exposure, but you know what? £5.75 is nothing to pay for a bottle of wine given the UK's duty and taxes, and this is as quaffable as it should be at that price.
