Fat Baron Shiraz Casa Ermelinda Freitas 2020

This Fat Baron Shiraz made by Casa Ermelinda Freitas at Peninsula de Setubal is a classic peppery Shiraz that has a deep red garnet with flavours of plum, oak and blackberries. It is a flavorful wine with a rich ruby hue. Red berry aromas blend with the Shiraz variety's unique spiciness on the nose.

A velvety-textured, full-bodied Portuguese red wine with notes of Mediterranean herbs and a combination of red plums and raspberries. Black pepper's heat is accompanied by mature tannins and vanilla undertones, which are hallmarks of well-integrated wood.

Big and bold, this wine is certainly for the Australian palate. Pairs extremely well with beef and venison. Think Portuguese pepperjack? I think yes.
