Description

Following a generational change of ownership, Whistler Wines has entered a new chapter with a fresh perspective, and this Atypical Shiraz lives up to its name. Designed to challenge tradition, this wine explores a lighter, fresher and more fruit-driven expression of Barossa Shiraz, offering a modern take on a classic style. In the glass, it shows a vibrant purple hue. The nose is immediately expressive, bursting with blueberry and black olive aromas. The inclusion of whole bunches adds a dried herb lift, bringing freshness and complexity to the wine’s aromatic profile. On the palate, the slightly cooler and extended 2022 growing season shines through, delivering generous red and dark fruit flavours with brightness and flow. The texture is supple and inviting, making it just as enjoyable on its own as it is alongside red meat dishes. Crafted to be enjoyed in its youth for its vibrancy and charm, yet with enough balance to cellar confidently for a few more years. A fresh take on Barossa Shiraz — lighter on its feet, fruit-forward and full of personality.
