Screwcap

Can a Shiraz flavour profile pull in two directions simultaneously, without seeming contrived or out of balance? Paradox achieves this trick by combining fruit from warmer northern Barossa sites with gentle handling in the winery, retaining great acidity to amplify freshness of lively plum and cassis with a lick of olive tapenade, but without sacrificing rich purple colour or a generous, creamy mouthfeel in an expressive mid-palate. The stern black tannins come as a surprise, snapping vigorously at the conclusion, which suggests it will look better after several years in the cellar.
