{"product_id":"by-farr-shiraz-2025","title":"By Farr Shiraz 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlways a wine we like and typically the dark horse in the range, although more and more it appears as though the secret is out… This year’s Shiraz has its trademark silkiness and slurpiness, with bramble, black pepper and black olive flavours amongst a nice core of fruit. A lick of nutmeg suggests some classy new oak within a medium bodied frame. \u003cstrong\u003e– Ches Cook, Five Way Cellars.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is always so, so good. It’s complex which I love, as so often this grape is one dimensional. There is more than a note of ripe fruit, there is graphite, black olives, it feels silky yet there is a note of ocean spray, a faint yet lovely salinity, then follows the spice. There is so much going on in this wine, and I know it’s a tired saying, but this is undoubtedly a Pinot drinker's Shiraz, and by that I mean it is endlessly interesting, I’m not saying that it is light. The texture is perfect in that it has intensity without being flabby, and I think this is too often overlooked. Shiraz need not be a fruit bomb as it masks all the good parts this grape has to offer. Call it Rhone-like if you want, I know that will draw criticism, but few Australian Shiraz come close to that level of finesse, texture and savoriness. It’s By Farr Shiraz, that’s a far better way to describe it. \u003cstrong\u003eBy Farr\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Five Way Cellars","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43701224636534,"sku":"22465","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/3331\/7750\/files\/9982_Image1_15648165-92d6-4963-a90b-5d18afd81793.jpg?v=1782878363","url":"https:\/\/fivewaycellars.com.au\/products\/by-farr-shiraz-2025","provider":"Five Way Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
