| The Sydney International Wine Competition judges 2,000 wines. Approximately 200 finalists are then judged with food, and the top-showing wines earn the Blue Gold award. The 2015 Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz was rated as one of the top 100 wines of the 2017 competition. TASTING NOTE: Inky purple. The bouquet opens with aromas of blackberry jam. On the palate the wine is supple, plush and ripe with a juicy core of blackberries and supple ripe tannins. The wine remains unchanged when paired with the veal, the juicy core of blackberry fruit shining through. (Judge: Andrea Pritzker, MW) Score - Blue Gold Medal (Sydney International Wine Competition, 2017) |
