For those superstitious folk, to "knock on wood" is often used to ward off bad luck, shield against malevolence, or bring about serendipity. There is certainly no nefariousness in this Barossa Shiraz. Enjoy the pure Aussie wine and witness the fruition of luck.

This 2020 Smalltown Knock Knock Shiraz is sourced from select vineyard sites from the Northern Barossa Valley, originating from five different growers including a small quantity of Eden Valley Shiraz and a dash of Grenache.

This vintage is matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels of varying ages and sizes, of which 30% is new oak, and is aged for 22 months prior to release.

Tasting Note: Dense, sweet, blackberry fruit aroma, accompanied by a savoury, meaty character with a subtle black pepper, meat and oak undertone. Its palate is bright, juicy and fresh, and typifies the vintage with its notes of black cherry and plum. The oak-aging has allowed for a graceful balance between the savoury elements and the fruit, and the long, rich finish features a toasty oak component. Enjoy now or cellar for up to a decade.
