“A more rustic offering this vintage, still very good and so, so aromatic. Enticing. There’s a core of gorgeous dark fruit, plentiful spices, cedary sweet oak, licorice, plus more complexing charcuterie characters. Full bodied with supple and stretchy tannins, and wood tannins, too, so there’s a slight grip and pucker on the finish, yet juiciness throughout. There’s enough complexity for a nod at ageing, yet plenty of vibrancy for a nod to your mate to pour you another glass”

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep red with vibrant purple hues.
Aromatics: Ripe raspberries, blackberries, forest fruits, and floral notes, lifted by a subtle peppercorn spice.
Palate: Juicy blackberries and redcurrants, supported by fine tannins and a well-balanced structure. The wine’s spice and savoury notes add to its complexity, leading to a lingering, elegant finish.

Winemaker’s Note

“The 2022 Vinework Shiraz is the result of an intricate winemaking process, blending three separate techniques. Barrel fermentation in French oak, whole-bunch fermentation for added fragrance, and co-fermentation with Viognier all contribute to its depth and complexity. Aged for 14 months in a mix of French oak barriques (50% new) and a large old oak foudre, this Shiraz is an expressive and beautifully structured wine.”

Sustainability & Natural Practices

🔹 Sustainable vineyard practices to ensure quality and environmental responsibility.

🔹 Minimal intervention winemaking to preserve the natural character of the fruit and terroir.

Additional Storage & Serving Tips

🔹 Serving Temperature: 16–18°C – If stored at room temperature (22°C), chill for 30–45 minutes before serving.
🔹 Storage: Best kept in a cool, dark place to allow it to age gracefully over 6–10 years.

Food Pairing Suggestions 🍽️

🔹 Chargrilled Steak – The smoky char and juicy meat enhance the wine’s rich fruit and spice.
🔹 Slow-Cooked Lamb – Complements the wine’s savoury notes and supple tannins.
🔹 Mushroom Risotto – A great vegetarian pairing, highlighting the wine’s earthy, peppery complexity.
🔹 Aged Cheddar or Manchego – Enhances the depth of fruit and smooth texture.

FAQ Wine Terms 🧐

❓ What are tannins?
🔹 Tannins are natural compounds found in grape skins, seeds, and stems that give red wine its structure, dryness, and ageing potential. They create a drying sensation in the mouth and soften over time, making the wine smoother with age.

❓ What is fermentation?
🔹 Fermentation is the process where yeast converts sugar into alcohol, creating the flavours and aromas that define the wine’s character. This Shiraz was fermented using different techniques, including whole-bunch fermentation and co-fermentation with Viognier, adding depth and complexity.

❓ How does oak ageing influence this wine?
🔹 Ageing in French oak adds layers of spice, mocha, and subtle vanilla, while also softening the tannins, creating a more elegant and refined wine.

❓ How long can I cellar this wine?
🔹 This wine has excellent ageing potential and will improve over the next 6–10 years. Over time, the fruit flavours will deepen, and the structure will become even more refined.
