Swan Valley Shiraz 2022

Oakover Shiraz

Rich | Smooth | Medium Body

The 2022 Oakover Shiraz is a deeper, richer expression of this Swan Valley favourite, thanks to the warm and dry vintage conditions. With a fuller body and enhanced fruit ripeness, this vintage delivers richer flavours, velvety tannins, and a long, satisfying finish.

Why You’ll Love It ❤️

Bigger & Bolder – Warmer conditions in 2022 resulted in richer, more concentrated fruit flavours compared with previous vintages.

Silky & Smooth – Soft tannins provide a balanced, velvety mouthfeel.

Versatile Pairing – Pairs perfectly with chargrilled meats, hearty pastas, and aged cheeses.

Matured to Perfection – 16 months in seasoned French oak adds depth and complexity.
