Name: Castle Rock Shiraz 2022
Brand: Castle Rock Estate

Spice ~ Dark fruits ~ Long finish

If you love Shiraz with perfume, pepper and structure rather than heaviness, this 2022 Castle Rock Estate Shiraz is right in the pocket. Sourced from Kalgan near Albany in the Great Southern, it captures that classic cool-climate personality: cracked pepper, black olive and bay leaf on the nose, then a plush, supple palate where dark fruits hold the spice and oak neatly in check. It’s elegant, balanced and driven by fresh acidity, which is exactly what makes Great Southern Shiraz so satisfying at the table.

Winemaking stays clean and traditional, with fermentation in stainless steel, an extended three weeks on skins for depth, then 12 months in French oak puncheons and barriques (21% new) for polish and shape. Vegan friendly and made with minimal sulphites, it’s a beautifully composed red that drinks well now and has the structure to cellar confidently for 10 years or more.

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Castle Rock Estate Porongurup Shiraz reveals a nose bursting with rich aromas of ripe plum, liquorice, and hints of spice, highlighted by a subtle black pepper character. The influence of French oak adds depth, offering layers of char and cedar that elevate the aromatic profile.

On the palate, the wine is rich and generous, with luscious plum fruits and a touch of anise. The black pepper thread runs through the flavour, adding a delightful complexity. While full-bodied, the wine maintains admirable restraint thanks to its bright acidity and firm tannins, typical of cool-climate Shiraz. The oak integration is seamless, adding a delicate cedar note that complements the fruit and spice.

The finish is long and lingering, with layers of fruit and spice that persist, leaving a memorable impression. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for future development, where it will continue to evolve.

Food Pairing

Rich, Hearty Dishes: Pair with slow-cooked lamb or beef stew, where the wine’s depth and complexity will complement the richness of the dish.
Casual Pairing: Perfect with gourmet pizza topped with spicy sausage or a charcuterie board featuring aged cheeses and cured meats, where the wine’s spice and fruit flavours will enhance the meal.
