{"product_id":"mount-horrocks-alexander-vineyard-shiraz-2017","title":"Mount Horrocks Alexander Vineyard Shiraz 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eMount Horrocks’ Alexander Vineyard Shiraz has a distinctly savoury side, reflecting the Clare Valley’s combination of elevation and ancient, mineral-rich soils. Rather than chasing sheer power, Stephanie Toole has long favoured purity and balance, allowing the fruit to retain its peppery, herbal character. The 2017 is particularly compelling today, with nearly a decade of bottle development bringing the different elements into much sharper focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDark cherry, blackberry and plum are now intertwined with dried rosemary, black pepper, liquorice and hints of leather and earth. There is a lovely sense of movement across the palate: initially supple and generous, it gradually reveals firmer tannins and a savoury, almost ferrous note before finishing dry and persistent. The oak has receded into the background, leaving a beautifully integrated Clare Valley Shiraz that offers far more nuance than its dark fruit alone would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liberty Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60538786087246,"sku":"6150","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/5061\/1516\/files\/20260826_141128.jpg?v=1787768755","url":"https:\/\/blackrockcellar.com\/products\/mount-horrocks-alexander-vineyard-shiraz-2017","provider":"Blackrock Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
