Uncork to reveal a dark, mauve-hued elixir swirling with blackberry pastille, blood plum, and raspberry, lifted by exotic whispers of dried rose and cedar. The palate unfolds lazily, then crescendos: a plush wave of cassis and mocha melds with red licorice and roasted chestnut, all gliding over a powder-fine backbone of tannins. Silken and seamless, it balances opulence with quartz-like freshness.

97 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Gracefully opulent and complex, the enticing bouquet shows blackberry, sweet cherry, rich floral, vanillin oak, and toasted spice aromas. The concentrated palate exhibits terrific depth and weight, superbly complemented by fleshy texture and layers of fine tannins, finishing impressively long and sophisticated.

Ken Gargett - Winepilot

This wine only appears in the best vintages. It is named after an old strawberry patch which grows next to the vineyard providing this fruit. Fermented in open vats over a three week period, the team use whole berries as much as possible. Maturation is in French oak barrels of varying age, including a small percentage of new. The colour of the wine is a very dark mauve/maroon. This is a superb and finely crafted example of Barossa Valley Shiraz. The nose exhibits notes of chocolate, licorice, coffee beans, cassis and mocha. The oak has been expertly handled and the structure is seamless with a satiny, dense texture, leading to silky tannins. There is impeccable balance and great length to this wine. A gorgeous and stunning Shiraz with twenty years of great drinking in its future.

Regan Drew - Winepilot

The fruit comes from an old vineyard in Dorrien, named after the old strawberry patch that grows alongside the vines. 2023 was the coolest vintage in the Barossa since 2011, and this label only released in exceptional years. Open vat fermentation for 3 weeks before 18 months maturation in 30% new and 70% older French oak barriques. Calm and ancient. Holds a sense of composure and that time stands still. It’s obviously Shiraz on the nose with powdery cocoa, fleshy plum, fresh blackberries picked carefully off the cane and soft baking spices. Underneath that is seriousness of deep rose heart, licorice, a sneak of formic acid, warm toast and white pepper spice. The flow is long, measured and exceptional. A wonderful balance of deeply flavoured fruit and judicious oak. Exceptional now and for the next 20 years.

Ray Jordan - Winepilot

This is such a wonderful expression of Barossa Shiraz. It comes from an exceptionally cool vintage, which has enabled the fruit to slowly achieve ideal ripeness and flavour in perfect balance. When seasons like this come along, you rub your hands together. It was fermented in open vats with whole berries and no stalks, contributing to its bright pure fruit expression. It’s soft and supple with a palate that begins lazily then accelerates to a sustained finish. Bright red fruits with lovely floral notes. Beautiful.

96 POINTS

Melissa Moore - Winepilot

The Strawberry Hills Shiraz is a special cuvée, named after the old strawberry patch that still grows among the Shiraz vines and made only in exceptional years. And the 2023 is a special wine from a cool year that allowed for a long and even ripening season. The concentrated fruit shows in the glass, with attractive aromas of blackberry, raspberry and plum, and creamy vanilla leading into a plush, rich palate. Acidity brings drive and freshness, while the tannins are supple, seamless and finely woven. This is classic Dean: generous, polished, and absolutely cracking.

96 POINTS

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

The Strawberry Hill only makes an appearance in exceptional vintages. Whole-berry ferment and matured in French oak of various ages for 18 months. Plush doris plum, blackberry and blueberry fruits are supported by hints of baking spices, tapenade, chocolate-dipped raspberries, vanillin oak, pan juices, marzipan and freshly turned earth. Deep and wonderfully pure in the mouth, with fine-grained tannins melting back into the gorgeous black and blue fruits. Nothing feels pushed or overdone here and there is a sense of grace to the wine's form. All spice, bright fruit and cedar as it trails off slowly.

94 POINTS

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

One of my favourite says is ‘It’s like feeding strawberries to pigs’, and also Strawberry Hills the pocket sized suburb in Sydney springs to mind. Fresh blackberry, blueberry, mocha, black pepper, lavender, thyme, liquorice and grilled meat. It’s medium-bodied, savoury and nutty, quite saline, tannin is firm and grainy, acidity has a sweet grapefruit tang and sits well within the wine, there’s something of an apricot and raspberry juiciness here too, with a spicy finish of excellent length. It has density and concentration, though it keeps itself trim. The cooler vintage has delivered something a bit different, but also a bit good.

93 POINTS

Jeremy Oliver

Scented with bright red and black berries, a whiff of eastern spice, blood plums and a hint of cedary oak, this medium-weight shiraz delivers a plump, round core of fruit and flavour laced with blackberries, blueberries and redcurrants. Underpinned by a powdery backbone, it's long, gentle and delightfully flavoured, extending with drive and gentle power towards a lingering finish of red licorice and refreshing acids. A charming wine that slowly reveals its underlying fine, powdery spine.

The ‘second’ of two wines with this title, both from the same conductor.\nBlack and blue berries to taste, long fine tannins. Perfectly balanced. Drink. Is with enough time to decant or wait 10 years+ for time to do its magic!

Top wine, though I did not score as highly as the medals indicated. My first 2023 vintage I’ve tasted. Lovely nose and flavours, on the elegant side with a good length of savouriness to finish. I gave it gold 95pts and ordered another case as my wife demanded!
