Lake House Postcard Shiraz 2023

Accolades

Partners in Wine WA Review – 93 Points
This is a soft, smooth and juicy style of Shiraz with a subtle hint of pepper. A really lovely example of cool climate shiraz and can be enjoyed all year round. Serve at around 16c to bring out the flavours the most. Perfect for long time red wine drinkers and someone just getting into drinking red wines as it’s not overpowering like a Barossa style.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Deep red with youthful violet hues.
• Aromas: A complex nose of mulberry, pepper, spicy vanillin oak, and lifted floral notes.
• Palate: A ripe combination of blackberry and plums, with spicy aniseed and black cherry on the mid-palate. The finish is long and smooth, with hints of mocha and fine tannins.
• Finish: Lingering mocha and tannin-driven elegance.

Technical Terms Explained

• Mulberry & Blackberry: These are dark, sweet berries that give the wine its rich fruit profile. Mulberry tends to add a deep sweetness, while blackberry brings a bit of tartness.
• Spicy Vanillin Oak: Vanillin is a compound found in oak that adds a sweet, vanilla-like aroma. The spice comes from the wood, contributing a warm, comforting flavour.
• Aniseed: A flavour reminiscent of licorice, providing a subtle spice and sweetness in the wine.
• Mocha: The flavour of coffee and chocolate combined, often coming from oak aging, adding richness and depth to the finish.
• Tannins: These are natural compounds found in grape skins, seeds, and stems that give the wine structure. Fine tannins feel smooth and not too harsh on the palate.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
