Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Barossa Quartage 2020

The Shotfire range derived its name from the time when ansestors of the Clarke family discovered gold in 1870 at the Lady Alice mine in the Barossa goldfields. The Shotfirer had the hazardous job of setting and lighting the charge on the explosives used. The family interest in geology is retained today in their fascination with the terroir of the Barossa. This 'Quartage' is a blend of four classic Bordeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot, which unite here to fragrant and elegant effect. Blackberries, satsuma plum and anise – lavish density, complexity and length, to enjoy now or lay down for years to come.
