About the wine
A deep, rich and smooth Shiraz
- The 2022 vintage of this wine was proudly selected as a Finalist for 2024 Wine of the Year.
- This deep purple beauty from Wrattonbully is a rich full-bodied red with smooth tannins and a powerful aromatic intensity. The combination of warm days, cool nights, and free draining clay soil in this region creates spectacular reds and this is no exception!
- The Hoopers take a hands-off approach to winemaking, allowing the grapes to do the talking. They come from a friend's biodynamic vineyard where all the operations are done sustainably. Derek then uses low-intervention winemaking techniques and just 8% oak to increase complexity.
- The Shiraz has a distinctive wild blueberry scent and flavors of mulberries and ripe plums. It has a long and pleasant persistence and is perfect for any occasion, whether it's paired with a meal or enjoyed on its own.
Best before
This wine will be best drunk young but if you are patient, it will come into it's own in 1-2 years
Serving advice
Shiraz is always appreciated in Autumn/winter, but don't let social norms hold you back
Food match
While red meat is always a go to, a charcuterie board with all your favourite cheeses and meats would not disappoint.
