Chris Ringland Limit Lodge Shiraz
A bold Red wine with expressive blackberry, plum, and baking spice notes, perfect with grilled ribeye
Chris Ringland Limit Lodge Shiraz from Barossa Valley, Australia, is a bold and expressive Red (still) wine, crafted dry from 100% Shiraz grapes. Fermented with natural yeasts and undergoing extended maceration, it is then matured for 24-30 months in French oak hogsheads, integrating fruit with oak-derived spice. It reveals aromas of ripe blackberry, plum compote, baking spices, and eucalyptus. The full-bodied palate is plush with layers of black fruit, liquorice, and cocoa, balanced by supple tannins and a warming finish. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, rosemary-crusted lamb, or a rich lentil and mushroom stew.
