Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
Wonderfully composed and expressed, the wine exhibits intense black and purple fruit notes, as well as rich floral, baking spice, and cedar characters on the nose. The palate offers terrific weight and richly textured mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by layers of polished tannins, finishing persistent and delectable.

Angus Hughson - Vinous
The 2022 Shiraz Paradox is classic Northern Barossa from a good year. It’s densely packed while retaining Yalumba's light winemaking touch. This opens with muscular aromas of blackberry and dark earth, framed by well-managed oak. Raw Barossa fruit power is on display, matched to robust tannins, although it still remains tightly bound. This is excellent and built for the long haul.
Winemakers Notes
The northern area of the Barossa Valley has some of the oldest landscapes in the Barossa. At 200 million years old, these bed rocks have formed the soils in which the grape vines grow. It is also one of the early grape growing areas of the Barossa with many generational growers who are both traditional and attune to the needs of making their vineyards sustainable with modern viticultural thinking.
