The Linda Domas wines first caught out attention through the sampling of a couple of excellent reds from the 2004 vintage, including the Egidio Shiraz, a full flavoured but very well balanced McLaren Vale offering. Reds are sourced from McLaren Vale and the whites further south in Southern Fleurie.
What struck me early tasting this wine was the Euro / Sancerre bent; chalky, mineral notes, zingy acid, and obvious length. This is no tropical fruit bomb, rather a classy and under-stated example of what is frankly a boring-as-batshit variety. Mild citrus fruits and faint spice round the palate out. Might be just a touch too understated for the masses.
