Rib Tickler, Shiraz, California, USA

Rib Tickler Shiraz 2019
 
Inspired by Bourbon and BBQs, this is the ultimate wine match with meat cooked low and slow!
 
Production
The grapes are de-stemmed and pressed. Fermentation takes place in tank, preserving the juicy fruits, after which the wine is matured with an oak component for 4 months. This gives liquorice, spice and a little bit of ‘oompf ’ to an already delightful wine.
 
Tasting notes
Attractive plummy purple in colour. The nose oozes bright raspberry and blackberry fruit with a hint of toasted caramel oak. The palate has lots of ripe juicy fruit with pepper spice and more-ish vanilla character. The finish is soft, subtle and embracing. It’s a ‘kick-back’ and relax kind of wine.
 
Food match
Roast beef, barbequed meats and succulent steaks... or oven-roasted vegetables if you prefer!
