This vibrant and punchy Barossa Valley Shiraz has a delightful, subtle feel from the moment you take in the fresh blueberry fruits on the nose. The palate is smooth and succulent, with some spices, a little vanilla essence, and a touch of dark chocolate. Lovely chalky tannins add to the savoury complexity. It’s more in the medium-bodied zone, but certainly delivers with power and fruit intensity. An excellent wine.

From the excellent 2022 vintage, the fruit hails from the Barossa Valley floor. Maturation was in a mix of French and American oak. 10% was new with the remaining 90% older French and American hogsheads. Opaque maroon with a dull red rim, the nose gives us florals, cherries, soy, cloves, blueberries and chocolate. Good oak integration, this is a wine of freshness and medium length with the energy still evident. It finishes with a lingering offering of fine tannins. Good value, which will look even better if you can put this away for the next decade.
