Claymore, ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, 2014
Made with selected parcels of estate grown fruit from Claymore’s Watervale and Penwortham vineyards, the 2014 Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz proves again the exceptional quality of their low yielding non-irrigated vines.
Maturation on oak barrels complements juicy dark berry fruit in this full flavoured wine – rich and generous with a soft, lingering finish. You are invited to explore the ‘dark side’ – now or after 6+ years in the cellar.
£16.95
Claymore
Claymore wines began in 1997 when an Adelaide medical professional, Dr. Anura Nitchingham realised the opportunity to indulge his passions for: great wine, rock music and his love for Liverpool Football Club (Anura was sent to Liverpool to study during the 1970s and 1980s. Many of Claymore's wines are named after some of the world's legendary rock songs, albums and artists. The sensory connection for Anura was genuine. To him, the labels are those that resonate beyond their time, across generations and have become something of modern classics; he holds similar aspirations for his wines. To silence any critics who may see the rock icons as a gimmick, Claymore Wines has grown into a serious boutique wine business.Be the first to review “Claymore, 'Dark Side of the Moon', 2014”
