Silent Noise Reserve Shiraz 2017
Summary Silent Noise Reserve Shiraz 2017 is a bold, complex red from the Silent Noise project in McLaren Vale, South Australia (associated with Kangarilla Road). This limited-release vintage showcases ripe, intense fruit from old vines, with layered savory depth and subtle oak integration—handcrafted in a low-intervention style for big personality and generosity. Medium to full-bodied and approachable now (with decanting), it has excellent aging potential (drink through 2030). Pairs perfectly with grilled meats, slow-roasted lamb, barbecued sausages, hearty pasta, or mature cheeses.
