Very deeply coloured, the 2020 Rank & File Shiraz is the result of a combination of low yielding vineyards and low intervention winemaking creating a wine of excellent texture, complexity and depth. Bramble, blackcurrant, spice and dark chocolate dominate the nose and the palate is stuffed full of dark, delicious fruit given detail by more spice and ripe, textured tannins. A really serious wine but also immediately engaging. Will certainly benefit from decanting in its youth to let it open up and show to its best advantage, but by no means a necessity. Anything char-grilled will fit the bill perfectly and will cope with all sorts of strong flavours.
