Elephant Half in Room Mid Strength South Australia Shiraz 2022 - 6 Bottles
Winery Background
Elephant Half in Room reimagines Australia’s bold Shiraz by presenting it in a softer, mid-strength format. The goal is to retain Shiraz’s trademark richness while making it lighter, fresher, and more versatile for modern drinkers.
Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The 2022 season offered steady ripening across South Australia, giving Shiraz grapes ample time to develop ripe fruit flavours while maintaining vibrancy. Balanced conditions ensured even tannin development and spice complexity.
Winemaking Process
Fermentation was carefully managed to extract colour and fruit intensity without overwhelming tannins. A short maturation in seasoned oak added softness and layers of subtle spice, complementing the juicy fruit-driven style.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson in colour. On the nose, blackberries, dark plums, and cracked black pepper dominate. The palate is medium-bodied and lively, showcasing juicy dark fruits, hints of spice, and smooth tannins. A clean, vibrant finish makes it easy to enjoy.
Food Pairing
Pair with barbecued meats, hearty pasta, or wood-fired pizza.
Story Behind the Wine
This Shiraz captures South Australia’s classic character but makes it lighter on its feet — approachable, versatile, and perfect for casual dinners or weekend barbecues.
