Sourced from premium vineyards across Central Victoria, this Shiraz benefits from the region’s warm days and cool nights, which contribute to concentrated fruit flavours and balanced acidity. The wine is crafted by Brown Brothers, a respected Australian producer with a long-standing reputation for quality winemaking. At 14.5% ABV, it delivers richness without overwhelming weight.

Nose: The aromatics are generous and inviting, with berry perfume mingling with white pepper and spice. Warm notes of coffee, roasted nuts, and earth add complexity, while hints of briar and autumnal character provide depth and intrigue.

Palate: Dense and full-bodied, the palate is packed with blackberries, plums, cherries, and blackcurrants. Mulberry and boysenberry join the fruit ensemble, sprinkled with sweet spice and caressed by silky tannins. The mouthfeel is supple and rich, shaped by medium body and integrated oak flavours that add structure without dominating the fruit.

Finish: Long and lingering, with fruit harmonising beautifully with secondary and tertiary notes. Ferrous characters continue throughout, building to a tightly tensioned conclusion that showcases the wine’s maturing complexity and impressive length.

Pair this Shiraz with grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised lamb shanks, or rich pasta dishes featuring red wine-based sauces. The wine’s bold fruit and savoury complexity make it an excellent match for char-grilled meats and hearty winter fare.

Serve at 16–18°C in a large Bordeaux glass to allow the aromatics to fully express themselves. Decanting for 30 minutes before serving will soften the tannins and integrate the flavours further, particularly if enjoying the wine while it’s still showing youthful vigour.

This is a wine for Shiraz enthusiasts who value complexity and regional expression, ideal for special dinners or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates premium Australian reds with the capacity to age and develop tertiary characters over time.
