Accolades

Wine Companion – 95 points
“From the Riversdale vineyard, 29-year-old vines. Frankland River shiraz has a significant chokehold on me; the wines have a clearly identifiable tannin profile – silky, drying, a little chalky and earthy. This wine is a beautiful expression, even in a warmer vintage such as ’24. Boysenberry, licorice, plum, skeins of pink peppercorn, black cherry, cool fruited, elegant and richly composed. A wine of power and grace, plenty of mid-palate weight, supported by a web of tannin, acidity pulling the fruit through to its finale. A delightful wine, smartly priced”

Winemaking Process

The 2024 growing season experienced warmer temperatures and an early, dry harvest, contributing to a richer Shiraz with a robust tannin profile and intense colour. Post-harvest, the grapes underwent gentle maceration over thirteen days with minimal intervention. The wine was then aged in medium-toast French oak barriques for eleven months, followed by additional bottle aging to ensure integration and development prior to release.

Vintage Description

The warmer-than-usual 2024 growing season in Frankland River led to an early, dry harvest. These conditions produced a slightly richer styled Shiraz with well-developed varietal flavours, a solid tannin structure, and intense colour, reflecting the region’s capacity to adapt to varying climatic conditions.

Technical Specifications

• Alcohol: 14.2%

• pH: 3.62

• Total Acidity: 5.3 g/L

Food Pairing Suggestions 🍽️

• Grilled Lamb Chops: The wine’s dark fruit and spice notes complement the rich flavours of grilled lamb.

• Mushroom Risotto: The earthy palate of the Shiraz pairs harmoniously with the umami flavours of mushroom dishes.

• Aged Cheddar: The wine’s tannic structure and dark chocolate hints enhance the sharpness of aged cheeses.

Cellaring

This Shiraz boasts a tannin profile that promises excellent cellaring potential, allowing it to develop further complexity over the next 10 years.

Serving Temperature

Best served at 16-18°C. If stored at room temperature above 20°C, place in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. Being a young Shiraz, it will certainly benefit from 60 minutes of decanting if you can prior to serving.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

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.
