Winemaker's Notes
The classic Australian red wine. Shiraz was one of the original varieties brought into Australia and is firmly established as an iconic grape. The moderate maritime climate of Margaret River produces a Shiraz which is elegant, bright in fruit and delicate in spice.
Appearance: Vibrant magenta with a purple hue.
Nose: The intense aromas jump out of the glass, abundant with mulberries, plum and cherries. Followed by light delicate spices of clove, cinnamon and white pepper in the background.
Palate: This delectable medium bodied wine is best described as ‘Crunchy Bunchy’ (Jolliffe, 2017). Plush, round, fine, silky and juicy texture, with intensity of flavour and a pretty finish. It is like it has been meticulously refined, with good weight, softness, flavour and breadth across the whole palate, with a salivating finish!
Food Match: Sultan’s Delight (Hünkar Begendi) Charred Duck with Smoky Eggplant Sauce and Paprika Butter – Gourmet Traveller.
Alc/vol: 14%
Expert Reviews
Wine Companion (2014 Vintage) says
A fresh, lively and totally balanced medium-bodied Shiraz with a delightful juiciness achieved without losing texture or structure; poached plum/cherry flavours and fine tannins fill the mouth, yet leave it fresh.

Margaret River Shiraz. It’s a difficult style to get right but when it’s good, it’s excellent. The best way to describe this wine may well be: “upper end of middling”. Not quite an Upper Middle Bogan but in the vicinity. It tastes of cherry-plum flavours and comes with plenty of twiggy spice notes. What it most particularly comes with though is slick, creamy oak. It doesn’t get you excited but it does drink well, and will please many.

Go west, young man! Unashamedly medium-bodied, finely tuned with graphite-like tannins and a honed texture.

Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh (2008 Vintage) says
Here's a wine with X-factor. Walsh noted that it tastes of a particularly juicy sort of blueberry and dried cranberry with flavours of dried meat and spice too. Exotic, in a good way. It's medium weight, bright, lithe and well knit with plenty of adult shiraz flavour. Savoury more than sweet, and definitely not heavy. You have to admire a wine like this.

Well-judged winemaking with low oak gives fragrant dark berry perfumes. Touches of spice and soft, generous and elegant palates.

James Halliday (2007 Vintage) says
A highly fragrant and spicy bouquet leads into a medium-bodied palate with a display of red and black fruits, the tannins fine, the oak perfectly weighted.

Ray Jordan (2007 Vintage) says
Excellent vintage has delivered the good with this chunky seamless and powerful example of Margaret River shiraz. Deep ripe tannins work perfectly into the dense concentrated fruit. Oak is balanced and well integrated. Nice spicy savoury lift with a touch of light cedar.

White pepper, licorice and lively red fruit aromas; the spice follows through on the palate, with a fine, lingering finish.

Deep purple-red; a medium-bodied, complex array of red and black fruits, licorice and spice, the oak and tannins suitably restrained.

Black cherry and blackberry fruit; lovely texture caresses the mouth; fine and supple tannins; good oak.

James Halliday (2001 Vintage) says
Dense purple-red; firm black cherry and plum aromas show the first signs of developing complexity. The powerful and concentrated palate has abundant ripe tannins and overall flavour, simply reinforcing the need for patience.
