Side Step 2019 Shiraz

Description

Our Side Step range is our winemakers playground, a place to experiment and take a different path with fruit from other regions Australia wide, and create diversity in styles which step outside of the normal range of wines Bimbadgen produce. Vegan friendly. Bright purple in appearance with aromas of red fruits, cherries, mocha, and dark chocolate intermingled with subtle oak and white pepper spice. The palate displays bright red and black fruits combined with a hint of savoury spice. Well integrated oak, earthy, leather and a plump push on the mid palate make for a great food wine.
