Thorn-Clarke William Randell Shiraz 2018

Details
Named after a beloved ancestor of the Thorn family, the Thorn-Clarke William Randell Shiraz 2018 is a true gem in the world of wine. This single vineyard Shiraz is sourced from the older Kabininge Vineyard and is only produced in exceptional years, making up less than 1% of total production. The Thorn family's heritage and commitment to quality winemaking shine through in every bottle.
Thorn-Clarke is a family-owned winery that has been producing wine in the Barossa Valley for over 30 years. The winery's commitment to sustainability and traditional winemaking techniques is evident in every bottle they produce. The William Randell Shiraz is no exception, with its intense fruit quality and complexity that can only come from careful aging for 22 months in 100% new French and American oak.
This wine is a deep, black, and inky colour, with a nose and palate that are nothing short of amazing. The tasting notes include blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, with a hint of spice and a long, smooth finish. The William Randell Shiraz is a wine that can be cellared for up to 15 years, allowing the flavours to develop and mature over time.
When it comes to food pairings, this wine is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes, such as grilled steak or slow-cooked lamb. It also pairs well with strong cheeses, such as blue cheese or aged cheddar. The William Randell Shiraz is a wine that is meant to be savoured and enjoyed with good company and great food.
