Alpha Box & Dice Apostle Shiraz

Alpha Box & Dice is an Australian winery located in McLaren Vale, South Australia, and is known for its brilliant and innovative use of grape varieties from the region. Their wines often highlight regional varietals such as the Muscat variety known as 'Apostle'. Alpha Box & Dice's 'Apostle' Shiraz is a blend of Shiraz from the McLaren Vale and other cooler regions, which gives the wine a unique expression of terroir and character. The bouquet of the 'Apostle' Shiraz is full of ripe blackberry, spice, and hints of chocolate, with undertones of dusty herbs and licorice. On the palate, the 'Apostle' Shiraz has an elegant and fine tannin structure that is framed by dark, dense fruit with fresh acidity. As the wine evolves it reveals nuances of charred wood and gamey characteristics, culminating in a long, textured finish. Alpha Box & Dice's 'Apostle' Shiraz is a complex and remarkable expression of grape variety and terroir that is beautifully balanced and ready to drink.
