95 Points - Tony Love
Located in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, Sidewood is one of the largest vineyards in this acclaimed region stretching across the 300 acre Estate. The wines are made at their state of the art winery by the highly acclaimed Darryl Catlin, who previously served as a winemaker at Shaw and Smith for 13 years.
The 2019 Sidewood Shiraz is a stunning example of the popular Adelaide Hills Shiraz; delivering a beautifully aromatic and approachable wine with impressive depth of flavour. The palate is packed with juicy blackberry, dark cherry and pomegranate flavours, with soft silky tannins and savoury notes providing some further complexity.
"95 Points. Fruit from 3 estate vineyards and 12 clonal variations. Quintessential Adelaide Hills shiraz. Dark berries and aromatic garden herbs, swirling fruit with a classy Amaro bitters edge and fine tannins providing a gently chewiness. A terrific expression of region and variety. $26. 14% alc.
