Antares Shiraz 750ml
You want a red that just gets on with it. Antares Shiraz is that bottle. Pour it and you get juicy blackberry, ripe plum and a little kick of black pepper, all riding on tannins so soft they basically wave hello. It's dry, it's friendly, and it doesn't need a special occasion. Tonight, a plate of grilled meat and a couple of glasses? Sorted. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
First sniff is dark fruit and a hint of spice, almost like blackberries dusted with cracked pepper. Then it rolls in with ripe plum and blackcurrant, smooth and round across the tongue. It's medium-bodied, so it has presence without sitting heavy. The tannins (that grippy, drying feel reds can have) are silky here, not harsh, so it goes down easy. Bone dry, gently spiced, finishes clean and warm.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Santa Carolina, one of Chile's heavyweight wineries with well over a century behind it. Antares is their easygoing, everyday range, the wines made to be fun and fruit-forward rather than fussy. The grapes grow in Chile's Central Valley, a long sun-soaked stretch that's basically South America's wine engine room, where warm days and cool nights give Shiraz that ripe-fruit-meets-fresh-spice character. Named after Antares, the bright red heart of the Scorpius constellation. Fitting for a red, no?
