Wine Press Ratings
93 Points - Ray Jordan (2021 Vintage)
"Okay, so not a lot of this famous Umbrian variety is grown in Australia, but this one from a very good Barossa vintage is terrific. Loads of dark fruit characters not unlike cabernet on the one hand, and nebbiolo on the other. So it has a slightly dry palate feel with a firmish thread of tannin. It’s warm and generous with a dry savoury finish. Would go well with all manner of Italian meat dishes. Cellar: 10 years "
Taste
What a wine! Mighty and magnificent, the Lou Miranda Estate Fierce III Sagrantino is one of the most powerful and concentrated Australian wines we’ve ever tasted. Inky blue-black, the nose mixes black cherries with blackberries, vanilla, spices and earth. In the mouth there is an abundance of sweet cherry and bramble fruits set against a backdrop of savoury, earthy, pine nuts notes. The tannins are noticeable but are rounded, and polished and convey a ripe blueberry and cream tone. Decant and drink now with red meats, mushroom dishes, cheeses or game, or squirrel away and watch this develop over the next ten years.

These receive high levels of manual care, while in the winery intervention is kept to a minimum to promote their wines’ natural beauty. Their approach has seen them win dozens of awards and earn a global reputation for excellence. Lou Miranda’s Fierce III range offers an affordable taste of top-flight Australian wine and should be in every wine lover’s cellar.
