Salomon Estate Norwood Adelaide Shiraz Cabernet 2017

The Salomon Estate is nestled in the Finniss River, a winemaking sub-region on the southern slopes of the Adelaide Hills, south-east of the famed wine-producing area of McLaren Vale. In addition to the Salomon family, the winery boasts an “extended” family of winemaking mates like Mark Farmilo, former chief red winemaker at Penfolds, and current winemaker and vineyard manager Simon White, formerly head winemaker at Coriole and Hardy’s Tintara. A combination of old-world and new-world expertise make this 5 Red Star winery one to follow. "This 68/32% blend is full of life and zest to its medium body, the stamp of the '17 vintage.
