Tasting Notes
This North East Victorian Shiraz opens with a deeply expressive nose of dark plum, blackberry, and cracked black pepper, underpinned by subtle violet florals and a whisper of smoked meat. On the palate, it is richly textured and generous, delivering waves of dark cherry, mulberry, and licorice root, supported by well-integrated French and American oak that lends notes of mocha and vanilla. The tannins are ripe and plush, characteristic of the warm-climate Shiraz style that North East Victoria — home to regions like Rutherglen and King Valley — is celebrated for. A thread of earthy spice and dried herbs adds complexity and regional character throughout.
