Canberra District Shiraz
Canberra District, Southern New South Wales, New South Wales, Australia
Aromas of white pepper and spice leap out of the glass. Also transferred on to the medium weight palate. Soft mild tannins- not for cellaring but very good now. This wine has an amazing Show Record at the Royal Queensland Wine Show in 2014 winning the Stodart Trophy for Best One Year old Red; the Trophy for Best Shiraz and then the big one the Best Wine of Show! Made all the more amazing with a price of only $27.95! From a small maker so unlikely to find outside of Australia.

Friday options.
I missed the mark of Canberra District.
A ripe showing for the region.

Pepper and spice on nose and palate. Love the white pepper. Just medium weight. I like the wine just the way it is now - no need for further cellaring IMO. Classic cool climate continental Shiraz from the ACT.

Sep 6th, 2018Super floral. Smells like crushing frangipani in your hands. Fresh and ripe blueberry note and cardamon aromas too. Super bright and juicy.

A delicious wine in the mouth but just a touch too floral on the nose. Violets even! Might integrate with age. Drink over the next 10 years.

No cool climate signals in this Shiraz, well balanced, very moorish.

Nov 26th, 2015Very hot and bright. Nose is intense, hot with ripe berries. Palette isn't as full as you would expect but has pepper, coco and red berries. Hot and Med long.
