92pts James Suckling

This is rich and has some earthy elements with dried red fruit, leaves, blackcurrants, gentle spice and blueberries. The palate has a very concentrated feel with breadth of flavor and then some longer-driving fruit, too. Blueberries and blackberries. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, malbec, cabernet franc and merlot. Drink over the next six years.

Tasting Notes

A blend of four classic varietals; Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc &
Merlot. This generous blend boasts a rich deep red-purple colour. Aromas of
blackberries, satsuma plum and anise fill the glass. On the palate, plush tannins are
accompanied by rich notes of cassis and blackcurrant. Together they produce a
wine with lavish density, complexity and length. A wine that can be enjoyed now or
laid down to age for many years.

Winemaker Notes

Our Shotfire range pays respect to one of the Thorn-Clarke ancestors: James Goddard, who discovered the Barossa’s first gold mine. In that mine, the ‘shotfirer’ had the unenviable job of setting and lighting an explosive charge in a bold attempt to expose a vein of gold (and hopefully not bury the shotfirer…)

Essentially Barossan in style, each wine in this range exhibits a rich, deep charge of flavours that will make you feel like you've struck gold!

Blend: 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot
