Mackinnon's Shiraz 2005

Mackinnon's Shiraz, crafted by McGuigan Simeon Wines, brings you the bold yet approachable character of Shiraz grapes nurtured in Australia's warm climate. The 2005 vintage exemplifies this character, offering a robust red wine that fits perfectly at your everyday table. It's a true expression of Shiraz, showcasing its vibrant fruit and warmth.

In Volume 22 of 'Drops of God', Shizuku and Miyabi enjoy this wine on their flight to Australia. They relish the wine's sweetness and casual vibe, capturing the cheerful and friendly nature of Australian wines. It's a bottle that seems to embody the spirit of Australia itself.

When poured, it shows a deep ruby color that's just inviting. On the nose, you get ripe blackcurrant and blackberry aromas with a hint of spiciness. As you taste it, the lush fruitiness and smooth tannins spread across your palate, with a gentle sweetness that lingers. The acidity is lively, giving the wine a refreshing balance.

The finish is long, with the fruit flavors persisting till the end. It's a wine best enjoyed slightly chilled, making it an easygoing yet substantial Shiraz. If you're looking for something that's both fun and serious, give this one a try!
