Matured in French oak for 14 months, Murrumateman Shiraz 750mL is fresh and lively. Using tradtional methods, the fruit is dry fermented and bag pressed for optimal flavour. The palate is full of intense berry flavours with lingering spice and subtle tannins.

Season The 2021/2022 growing season commenced with good spring rains, giving way to a temperate summer. Mild, cool conditions through to harvest yielded beautifully clean fruit and ripe tannins. Viticulture Shiraz is grown on a number of elevated sites with deep granitic loams in the Hilltops region. Winemaking Grapes are harvested at around 13 Baumé, to capture freshness and purity at optimal ripeness. The destemmed grapes are open-fermented and worked with remontage and délestage. Malolactic fermentation and maturation takes place in Allier and Tronçais oak before blending and bottling at 12 months age. Lifted violets, red fruits, ripe cherry and gentle spice yield to a palate of dark plums, sweet fleshy tannins and a long, resonant finish. Decant before serving.

Tim Kirk has quickly become Australia's Shiraz-Superstar. With cool-climate vineyards that are managed pefectly and with expert guidance, Clonakilla is a must have for all serious wine lovers. Tim's Hilltops Shiraz has luscious dark Shiraz fruit, with blackberry, roasted meat and gentle spice in the background. The tannins are ripe, the fruit juicy, the finish long and savoury. Superb.

Nick Spencer's modern take on a classic, old-school Aussie Claret.

Produced from premium Shiraz grapes grown on Coonawarra's famous Terra Rossa soil, this well structured wine exhibits great depth and varietal flavours. This Redman Shiraz drinks well now but will reward 5-7 years cellaring.

Consistency has been the hallmark of Majella Shiraz for some time now. Ripe fresh raspberry and mulberry fruit is supported by fine tannins and subtle oak.

Chancellor & Co Shiraz is a wonderful example of flavourome, rich and ripe Shiraz at a great and affordable price. Nice flavours of red cherry with a lick of black pepper all rounded off with a soft, mellow finish.

Margaret River is an under appreciated region for Australian Shiraz, and it's hard to see why with Cape Mentelle's Shiraz showing a vibrant core of blueberry, mulberry and hints of raspberry. It is well balanced with cocoa and savoury oak. The palate yet, is fine, elegant and focussed, finishing with chalky and structural tannins.
