Description

This Shiraz is full of poise and balance. Jacaranda on the nose, then dark berries and graphite toe the tannic line. This is the second release of Daniel Ricciardo's DR3 x St Hugo wine collection.

AMUSINGS - It gracefully decelerates before traversing the thoroughfare, allowing the jacaranda leaves to flutter down first. Only then does the pepper mill make its swift dash. On the palate, akin to Sokol gymnasts, dark berries and graphite emerge in perfect harmony, gracefully toeing the tannic finish line, landing with a silent elegance.

About DR3 x St Hugo: This exclusive collection of fine wines is the result of a collaboration between the legendary Australian Formula 1 driver, Daniel Ricciardo, and St Hugo's Chief Winemaker, Peter Munro.

Deep crimson. Intense dark cherry, praline aromas with some brambly notes. Velvety textured wine with smooth opulent blackberry, dark cherry fruits, supple graphite tannins and underlying mocha, dark chocolate notes. Finishes chocolaty with attractive mineral length. Well balanced and appealing multi-regional blend with compelling richness, volume and polish. Cork-sealed. Drink now – 2028 14.5% 94 points.
