Tasting Note
RockBare RB1 Shiraz 2018 vintage is a deep garnet with a youthful violet hue. Blackberries and plum skin aromas, fragrantly supported by baking spices, star anise, black olive, and dark chocolate. A medium bodied plush wine, but still fresh and distinctive with the power and concentration of refined primary fruits. A core of blackberry and plum, with fantastic lively & textural tannins, supporting the fruit, right through to the finish. Well suited to a rare roasted saddle of venison, or try with a premium cut of rare dry aged beef. Also compliments a good vintage cheddar.
Wine & Cheese Pairing
For cheese pairings, you may want to try strong and savory cheeses such as aged Cheddar or Parmigiano-Reggiano. These types of cheeses have a bold and nutty flavor that complements the wine’s rich flavors and tannins.
Another great option is a soft and creamy cheese such as Camembert or Brie. The buttery and slightly sweet taste of these cheeses pairs well with the wine’s spicy and fruity notes.
