Xanadu Vinework Shiraz

The 2021 Vinework Shiraz boasts a deep red colour with vibrant purple hues. Its nose offers a delightful bouquet of ripe raspberries, forest fruits, and floral notes, enhanced by a subtle peppercorn spiciness from barrel fermentation. The palate reveals a medium to full body filled with juicy blackberries, redcurrants, and a touch of spice. The wine’s rich fruitiness and smooth tannins create a supple structure and a lingering, flavoursome finish.

The complexity of this wine is achieved through three distinct winemaking techniques. One third was destemmed, crushed with open rollers, and barrel fermented in 50% new French oak barriques before ageing in a large old oak foudre. Another third was fermented with 30% whole bunches for added fragrance and also aged in a large foudre. The final third underwent fermentation with whole berries and a touch of Viognier in static fermenters, then aged in French oak barriques (30% new). All components were matured in oak for 14 months, resulting in a well-rounded and expressive wine.

Reviews:

93pts Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot

To create this fine Margaret River Shiraz, one quarter was destemmed, crushed, pressed and barrel fermented in French oak, half new, with maturation in large (2,000 litres) old oak vats; one quarter saw whole bunch fermentation before time in large older oak vats; and the rest saw the inclusion of some whole berries in the static fermenter with 14 months maturation (same for all components) in French oak barriques, 20% new. This portion saw the addition of a small amount of Viognier. Gleaming magenta, there are notes of tobacco leaves, spices, hints of white pepper, raspberries, aniseed and a touch of mulberry. This is a lighter and yet savoury style of Shiraz. Exciting stuff. Fine tannins and good length. Delicious now, but can be enjoyed any time over the next six to ten years.

93pts Sam Kim, Wine Orbit NZ

Elegantly styled and beautifully fragrant, the bouquet shows sweet berry, floral, mixed spice and subtle oak aromas on the nose. It’s succulent and plump in the mouth, offering silky flow backed by fine tannins, making it comforting and flavoursome. Well structured with excellent balance, making it immediately approachable and delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2033.

92pts Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

You get more than your fair share of complexity here. Red licorice and raspberry characters are the conduit for an array of woodsy spice character, plus florals, plus woodsmoke. It has a dry, structured sinewy aspect to the finish, and as a result it benefits from a bit of air – or, likely, from some extra bottle age. Value is well in the buyer’s favour here, particularly if you’re into more savoury expressions of shiraz.

95pts Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

This takes a bit of time to unfurl, but it’s worth the wait – decanting recommended. It’s dense, rich and awash with dark plums, exotic spices, licorice and cedary oak but is by no means a heavy wine. There’s a certain elegance here with the fuller-bodied palate filled out with velvety tannins and fine acidity. A challenging vintage (rain just before harvest led to humid conditions, unusual for this region), but careful vineyard work ensured quality would shine through, as it does here.
