and a gentle smoky mineral finish

The palate is long and silky with stone fruit flavours

Again cherries dominate the fruits while the tannins have a sinew chewiness and great balance

and a faint earthy warmth

Moppity Reserve Shiraz Hickinbotham and a gentle smoky mineralThe palate is powerful, dark, and finely structured, with blackberry, plum, and black cherry driving the core. Fresh, coolclimate acidity gives lift, while firm, polished tannins bring real presence and length. Layers of black pepper, graphite, cocoa, and subtle oak spice add depth without heaviness. The finish is long, dry, and quietly intense, leaving dark fruit, mineral spice, and a faint earthy echo.
