Paradise IV Chaumont Cabernet Shiraz Blend 2009
Extraordinarily deep, fresh and brightly lit, with a voluminous bouquet of pristine small black and red berries, dark plums and smoky mocha/chocolate oak laced with fragrant nuances of dried herbs and smoked meats. Long and luscious, its silky-smooth presence of pure dark fruit follows a delicious line down the palate, whose mouth-watering, crunchy tannins contribute the toe clean, drying finish. Remarkably balanced and harmonious, and a total rethink on the concept of Australian cabernet-shiraz.

Paradise IV
Paradise IV is one of the most sought-after labels in Victorian wine. It sits at the cutting edge of where cool climate Victoria is destined to head -Ę towards distinctive and unique expressions of special terroirs using a carefully chosen marriage of site, variety and philosophy. The Chardonnay is by some margin the finest from the Geelong region while the elegant, medium-weight and savoury Dardel Shiraz is a wine of international stature and greatness. Sadly -Ę to put it mildly -Ę its owners ripped up the vineyard prior to the 2019 harvest. Fortunately, for the immediate future at least, the spectacular 2017 vintage is in barrel and the 2018 wines are happily brooding in oak.
