Winemaking & Style

From a vintage marked by low yields and ideal balance between warm and cool conditions, this is a remarkable release from one of Clare Valley's rising stars.

Tasting Notes (James Suckling)

“This 2022 Shiraz is fast becoming one of the great wines of the Clare Valley—and of South Australia. Deep in color, with aromas of blueberry, red plum, and wild raspberry. Assertive, structured tannins frame the concentrated fruit—raspberry, plum, blueberry, blackberry—with stunning clarity and vivid freshness. Try from 2026.”

Tasting Notes (Wine Advocate)

“Aromatic with rose petals, pastrami, dark chocolate, pink peppercorn, and ferrous notes. The palate evolves gracefully: perfume → supple fruit → fine-grained tannins → flowing finish → lingering spice. A classy, complex wine with a floral and tannic character reminiscent of Nebbiolo. 13.8% alcohol.”
