Tasting Notes

Deep crimson in colour, with aromas of ripe blackberry, dark plum and liquorice, complemented by hints of warming spice and subtle oak. The palate is rich and plush, delivering concentrated dark fruit flavours layered with liquorice and savoury spice. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and balance, leading to a smooth, lingering finish with generous fruit intensity.

Product Highlights

Most of the Shiraz this family grows goes to other wineries. They keep back a small share for their own label. They started out working vineyards in McLaren Vale in the 1990s. In 2002 they settled in Currency Creek, on South Australia’s southern coast, and planted Shiraz. Their own label has used estate fruit since 2018. This is not a shy wine. It’s big, ripe and generous, and 2024 suited it. Ray Jordan called it a mighty good season in South Australia. He found perfumed plum, ripe berry and blue fruit, with a spicy, liquorice-like palate. Sam Kim matched his 95 points, praising the plush texture and long, structured finish. Campbell Mattinson put it simply: if you like big Shiraz, you’ll enjoy this. In the glass it’s blackberry compote, ripe plum and cocoa, with liquorice and a little char from the oak. The tannins are fine and soft, wrapped in plenty of fruit. This is winter wine. Katrina Butler suggested lamb shanks. Open it on a cold night when dinner has been in the oven all afternoon.
