Massena The Eleventh Hour Shiraz 2019

Massena The Eleventh Hour Shiraz 2019Shiraz for The Eleventh Hour is sourced from vineyards located in the Greenock, Stonewell and Vine Vale sub regions of the Barossa. Originally this wine came from the sixty year old Shiraz vines from Greenock that were about to be uprooted. They were saved in the eleventh hour and Massena used the fruit to make this extraordinary wine. "This is wonderfully ripe and instantly appealing with black blueberry, clove, dark chocolate and roasted hazelnut
