Product Details
A standout cool-climate Shiraz from Western Australia, this organically farmed wine has earned top accolades, including Best Western Australian Shiraz and Best Organic Wine at major national competitions.
Highly aromatic, it opens with notes of raspberry, wild herbs, and floral perfume, layered with hints of spice. The palate is silky and elegant, offering vibrant red and dark fruit—black cherry, plum, and raspberry—interwoven with nuances of olive, mint, chocolate, and subtle oak. Fine tannins, bright acidity, and a mineral backbone lead to a long, fresh, and refined finish.
Often likened more to a Northern Rhône “Syrah” than a typical Australian Shiraz, it combines power with finesse, making it both approachable now and worthy of short- to mid-term cellaring.
Food pairing: Excellent with grilled lamb, herb-crusted beef, or roasted Mediterranean vegetables.
Grape insight: In cooler climates like Frankland River, Shiraz (Syrah) tends to show more pepper, herbs, and elegance—closer in style to France’s Rhône Valley than the richer, bolder expressions often associated with Australia.
