{"product_id":"2023-thomas-wines-the-dam-block-shiraz","title":"2023 Thomas Wines The Dam Block Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003eSitting just across the water from the iconic Kiss Shiraz vines, this tiny 0.8-hectare parcel is proof that great things often come in small packages. The soils and aspect are nearly identical to its famous neighbour, so it’s no surprise the Dam Block shows the same dark-fruited depth and savoury edge - only here it’s delivered with a little more lift and a slightly looser tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked late in February 2023 after a long, steady ripening, the fruit was fermented as whole berries to coax out vibrant perfume and supple texture, then matured for 14 months in French hogsheads. The result is a wine that bursts with blue and black fruits, laced with spice, and finished with the al-dente tannins that mark this patch of Pokolbin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of it as the Kiss’s younger sibling: less brooding, more exuberant, but with the same pedigree and balance that makes Thomas Shiraz so sought after. For those who can’t quite snag the flagship, the Dam Block is a brilliant introduction – bright, juicy, and deeply satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Powerful yet graceful and utterly delicious.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Toni Paterson MW (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-WaRCArPohc?si=sru1YlPpt2yPMiyY\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141734805876,"sku":"rfj1789956952328","price":21.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2023-thomas-wines-the-dam-block-shiraz_1.png?v=1789956954","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2023-thomas-wines-the-dam-block-shiraz","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
