REACHING NEW PEAKS
TO SOME, it’s an intrusion on an otherwise excellent Australian Shiraz.
To others, it speaks of the terroir, of the bush and the land and is a character intrinsically associated with some Australian red wines.
Eucalyptus aroma and flavour – variously described as mint or menthol – in Aussie reds is a divisive presence, a force for good or bad depending which side of the fence you choose to sit.
