Description

A refined and elegant Shiraz that showcases the cool-climate sophistication of Margaret River. Distinctly different from its South Australian counterparts, this vintage leans toward a French Syrah style, offering balance, perfume, and finesse over sheer power. Subtle oak and delicate spice underpin a wine that is all about texture, poise, and purity of fruit. Deep red with ruby hues, it opens with dark red fruits, cherry, mulberry, and raspberry, layered with hints of aniseed and spice. The palate is medium-bodied yet richly flavoured, with silky tannins and a fine oak influence that adds depth without dominating. The finish is smooth, mouth-filling, and persistent, carrying the wine’s natural sweetness and supple charm through to the end. A versatile red that pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, duck, or spicy Asian dishes such as red curry. Its balance of fruit and spice also makes it an excellent match for charcuterie, aged cheeses, or herb-roasted vegetables. Ready to enjoy now for its freshness and charm, yet will continue to evolve over time, revealing further complexity and spice with careful cellaring.
