Moppity Reserve Shiraz Hickinbotham and gently spicedThe palate is powerful, dark, and finely structured, with blackberry, plum, and black cherry driving the core. Fresh, coolclimate acidity gives lift, while firm, polished tannins bring real presence and length. Layers of black pepper, graphite, cocoa, and subtle oak spice add depth without heaviness. The finish is long, dry, and quietly intense, leaving dark fruit, mineral spice, and a faint earthy echo.
