The Charles Melton Father in Law Shiraz 2021 vintage has a sweet richness with elegant flavours. Graceful and well rounded with a spicy long finish.
Charles Melton Wines has produced premium Barossa red wines, at our winery on Krondorf Road since 1984. It was in the mid 1980's that Charlie and a small band of Barossa winemakers turned their winemaking efforts to what was considered then to be a couple of unfashionable varieties; Shiraz and Grenache.
With these varieties, Charlie built a small range of classic dry reds including a Grenache/Shiraz/Mataro blend called the Nine Popes. These wines were initially styled on those from the Rhone but are now considered leading examples of the varieties in their own right.
Strong hard cheeses and grilled meats
Intense black raspberry liqueur and liquorice scents flood the nostrils trailed by vanillin cedar, fragrant dried herb and pepper notes.
Rich and plump the palate is awash with succulent black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits which overlay a vanillin cedar and peppered herb back drop. Finishes bright and fresh with polished tannins and a juicy aftertaste.
