Shiraz

Characterised by its intensity of colour, palate weight and concentration of ripe plum, black pepper and red berry flavours, Australian Shiraz tends to taste richer, riper and more full-bodied than most, often layered by the use of toasted American oak and less frequently French oak. Look out for hedonistic examples from all areas of South Australia, Central Victoria and to a lesser extent, cooler climes like Western Australia. Browse our top rated Shiraz wines here.

This is a fine '19: extract harnessed by inimitable Hunter savouriness, judicious French oak (17% new) and a steady hand. Plenty of whole berries in the mix to impart a juiciness, floral lift and an effusive joy. Sour cherry, Damson plum, baking spice and vanilla pod. Mid weighted, lithe and long, as the tannins expand with air and the acidity tows the flavours. Delicious. Drink by 2028.

Closure: Stelvin

A relative new comer to the Barossa wine scene, long time Barossa enthusiasts Trevor and Marilyn Hatch purchased an established vineyard in Eden Valley’s Keyneton region in 2007. The long time Sunshine Coast residents made many visits to the Barossa Valley over the years and fell in love with the wines so much so that they purchased the historic Tanunda Cellars bottle shop in the late 1990’s. Trevor also became involved in wholesale and retail sales of Barossa wines in Queensland. With a farming background in avocado and persimmon Trevor decided to combine this with his experience and knowledge of the wine industry and purchased a vineyard to produce his own wine. The property, a working vineyard for well over a century boasts what is believed to be some of the oldest Riesling vines in Australia - planted back in 1896. The Shiraz vines planted in in the 1930’s and 1950’s have previously supplied fruit that has gone into making Yalumba’s flagship Octavius Shiraz.
Resistance will prove futile to this plush, seductively rich and complex Eden Valley Shiraz.
The Zip Line Shiraz fruit comes from a mixture of vines planted in 1927, the mid 1980’s and some younger vines planted in 2008. Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black hue. Captivating the olfactory senses are dark plum, liquorice and fennel aromas which are complimented by vanillin cedar, dried herb, hints of mocha and spice. Rich, concentrated and silky textured the medium to full bodied palate is saturated with cascading waves of dark plum and liquorice fruit. Notions of vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered dried herbs lend further interest. Boasting outstanding power, its plush and opulent, has cashmere like tannins and finishes long, sleek and lavish.

Dense black as night heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Elevated scents of dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fill the nostrils with hints of choc mint, vanillin oak and spicy earth also evident. Rich succulent blackberry, liquorice, dark plum and dark chocolate flavours engulf the full bodied palate. Subtlety toasted vanillin oak, earthy fennel and spice characters lie underneath.

Other Reviews....
Very Australian aromatically, with red pastilles, peppermint after-dinner mint and menthol notes. Yet the tannins are svelte and plush, conferring class and an element of impressive refinement to what initially comes across as a burly, four-square wine. With that in mind, this is a large-framed wine of two parts: the Aussie attack and the burlesque finish, all satin velour and linger. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

2021 Shiraz by Farr

$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

Shiraz fruit comes from the original By Farr vineyard, planted in 1994. It lies on a north-facing slope, and the red volcanic soil has a base of limestone with deep-set sandstone. All fruit is hand-picked from the VSP trellising, with 20 per cent left as whole bunches in the fermentation. Most years between 2 and 4 per cent viognier is co-ferment with the shiraz. Fermentation is started by indigenous yeast, with the fruit mecareting in the tank for 19 days before pressing. The wine is matured for 18 months in French oak (20% being new oak), and is bottled under vacuum.
Other Reviews....
Nick Farr knows how to make wine. That’s my t-shirt slogan for today, and if any retailer prints it I’ll buy one.
This is a glorious cool-climate shiraz. It’s sweet, it’s savoury, it’s truffly, it’s massed with roasted nut characters and it’s many other things besides. There is so much gorgeousness here. It’s built on cherries, plums, toffees, twigs, spices and leaves, but that’s just the starters. It’s tight too, and as it expands and unfolds it keeps its tannin and acid rigidly in place; it’s always a marvel to see a backline, in football of all codes, hold its formation as the chaos of attack is unleashed, and that’s what this wine is like. It holds its shape as the dream is laid out. It’s super. Drink 2024 - 2034+

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Lifted cooler climatic notes of charcuterie, lilac, clove and dried kelp. An excellent nose, with hints of briar and dill suggesting a good portion of whole bunches in the mix. A skein of peppery, juicy acidity drags this to exceptional length, sublimating the edginess of the whole-bunch quotient into an impressive, greater whole. This is fine shiraz, auguring for development over eight years in bottle. Drink or hold.

Cellar: 30 - 50 Years (2034-2054)

ABV: 14.8%

Closure: Cork

A monument of a wine, which has not been made for elderly drinkers. This is a drink for future generations – the sort of wine that might be served up to commemorate your great judgment as a wine collector by your grand children. Matured in 100% new Burgundian Nevers oak. The 2003 Astralis is the tightest of the recent vintages and a perfect expression of the long slow low yielding ripening year. The Burgundian oak staves have been air dried for 3 years and fired over a relatively cool flame, avoiding any charry contribution to the flavour profile.
Totally black purple colour – a complete saturate. Magnificent nose of anise, violets, blackberry and spice. A wine with the tannin structure of the Piggott Range yet with the palate voluptuousness of the Hickinbotham. Explosive, mouth filling concentrate of black pepper, blackberry and white pepper. Fine firm tannins which are highly bound with the fruit. Again a triumph for Clarendon Hills and a definitive expression of Romans ability and obsession with winemaking, more than justifying Robert Parker’s lavish praises.

ABV: 14.8%

Closure: Cork

The Piggott Range vineyard vines are 25-30 years old, and are planted in rock and shale, with only 10-13 mm top soil. The vine roots work hard to establish themselves and force their way downwards between cracks in the rock and shale to find water. The yields are extremely low at one tonne per acre. The Piggott Syrah is matured in 100% new French oak barriques.

Tasting Note: (Tasted early 2000s) Totally opaque black, purple, crimson colour. Superb lifted nose, even more intense than the previous wines. Lifted notes of plum concentrate, blackpepper, spice, blackberry, violets and earth. A sniffers paradise! The palate overwhelms. This is concentration plus, and its hard to believe that the Astralis could surpass this flavour profile. Concentrated flavours of liquorice, blackberry and spice, with a degree of voluptuousness that is almost too much to handle – a sensuous overload. Roman describes this wine as the complete deal ‘steak, eggs and cigar’, one could add sex to that description as well. Layers of strong liquorice, spice and blackpepper followed by a hint of earth and subtle toasted oak. Fine firm tannin structure.

With 4% viognier. Matured in 70/15/% French/American oak, the remainder seeing no oak. Clever winemaking (and growing) has resulted in a beautiful wine to drink. Sweet plum and black cherry flavours come woven through with highly seductive roasted/woodsy spice notes. It kind of just 'has you at hello'. Cedar, toast, florals and black pepper notes all get a run in, the net effect delicious. You could cellar this but there's no need to. Drink by 2030.

The 2022 O’Riada Shiraz is made from fruit picked from the Clonakilla estate and other vineyards in Murrumbateman and Hall. The 2022 season was cool and long, like its predecessor, 2021. On the nose, there are notes of pink musk sticks and rose petals, blood, black cherry, pastrami and iodine. In the mouth, the wine is everything that the nose has promised—vibrant, alive, delicious, exciting and shaped by very fine pumice stone tannins. Gentle dust and brush sway through the finish. What a lovely wine. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Drink 2023-2032.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
A very delicate, diaphanous and dainty O'Riada in this cooler year. I thought it was a bit too light on my first tasting, but a revisit a day later saw it grow in stature. White peppercorn, musk, lilac, a hint of spiced salumi and redder fruits this vintage, over blue or black. Almost a wine for the Burgundy drinker, to be positive. The chiffon tannins, stretch nicely across the palate. Could use just a bit more mid-palate stuffing, to be critical. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

This is a very good Hilltops bottling, a sub-region with the altitude to obviate the wet weather of a cooler year, while accentuating a bit more ripeness. Mid-weighted, spicy and boasting real verve. Riffs on clove, menthol, white pepper, blue fruit allusions and dried aniseed ripple across a vertical skein of freshness, while finely wrought, gently gritty tannins compress the long finish. This has the most concentration of the three shiraz/syrah without being heavy in the slightest. Excellent showing. Drinkable now, but best after 2026. Screw cap.

I’ve always been partial and I’d say that this is a very good release.
Mint, peppercorn, sweet spice, salted nuts and floral notes run into fresh red cherry and plum flavours. There’s a smoky meatiness at play here too and while it’s not overt I’d also say that it’s a key part of this wine’s shtick. Tannin is fine, length is sound, oak is integrated and all the components feel as though they’re pulling in the one direction. This is a good wine and (very) good value. Drink 2023-2028+

$120. 00
Bottle
$1440.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

Clonakilla's flagship, the Shiraz Viognier, represents a meticulous selection of the finest parcels from their Murrumbateman vineyard. The 2022 vintage, characterized by cool temperatures and a prolonged ripening period extending into autumn, has emphasized the wine's spice elements, showcasing their intensity and quality. Anticipate a beautifully fragrant experience, true to Clonakilla's classic style, with the presence of serious yet fine tannins ensuring cellar longevity.
Other Reviews....
A cool, attenuated vintage that seems to possess the prerequisites for prodigious grace and long-term aging: extract, freshness and guile. All of this without an ounce of heaviness, such is the gentle mid-weighted timbre of this beautiful expression. For those seeking Barossa or Brunello, look elsewhere! But for those who seek poise, detail and mellifluous drinkability with a balletic gait, this gorgeous wine's patina of Sichuan pepper, clove, red fruits, violet, iodine and dried porcini delivers on all fronts. A supremely sophisticated wine that takes patience to unravel. Drinkable now, but best after 2027. Screw cap.

Ned Goodwin MW - JamesSuckling.com
The 2022 Shiraz Viognier is sensational, but that assessment isn't breaking any ground. It includes 5% Viognier co-fermented and had 20% to 35% whole bunches in the ferment. Lacy, ethereal and structural, this is equal part Boscobel rose (which, to me, smells of raspberry leaf tea and rose essence) and roasted meat juices. It is sweet and savory, spicy and svelte and peppered by layers of pastrami and roast beetroot. There are notes of earth, licorice, black tea, jasmine flowers in summer and lashings of dried exotic spices. This is affirming and good, so good. Drink it now for Pinot-esque pleasure or in 15-20 years for elegant, meaty, ethereal, fresh, complex, layered excitement. All good either way. This is one of my favorite Australian Shirazes. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2023 - 2042.

The cool vintage writ large, indeed. Beauty in quiet spaces.
It’s a compact and fresh-feeling release, gossamer threads drawn in a complex tapestry. Perfume is pretty, rose petals, violet this year, red cherry, fresh and sour, woody spices in clove and cinnamon, a touch of alpine herb. The palate is lacy, light on and quite transparent, a touch diffuse at present, but draws on its sheath of feathery tannin to tighten nicely, let’s say fine structure, while cooler red fruit flavours, woody and smoky spices lend character gently, but with potential on show. Right now, pianissimo as they say, but wait for the crescendo to come. Drink 2025 - 2040+

Closure: Screw Cap

Other Reviews…
It spent 18 months in oak, rather than it’s usual 12. Oak’s presence in the wine is no more than usual; if anything it simply feels more harmonious. To be released in March, I think.
In any case this is a wonderful release. It leaps from the glass with wonder on its lips. Plums and florals and spices and meats take a walk through a garden, woodsmoke suggested, summer alive. It’s elegant and refined and yet it’s all there, it’s all open. It gets you in the feels; it has a kind of satiny confidence, like it knows that it’s good and it knows that you’ve noticed. Fine fingers of tannin, curry leaf notes, berries. Florals here as mentioned but maybe not as pronounced as usual, as if viognier and shiraz have become one. Still there’s nothing reserved about this wine. Nothing. It’s just all there, ready, perfect. Drink by 2040+.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front (January 2021)
Some wines have such distinct DNA. This is one of them. It packs so many layers of flavour and depth, yet never moves much beyond medium body. It smells of a souk market; spicy, peppery and exotic. It's replete with dark fruit, wood char and a touch of wintergreen. Raw silk tannins matched to a neat acid line give freshness, vibrancy and a promise it will last some distance yet. Drink by 2035.

$779.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Clyde Park Vineyard was established by Gary Farr in the late '70s and passed through several ownership changes; today Terry Jongebloed and Sue Jongebloed-Dixon are the owners, while Jess Robertson (previously at Punt Road Wines and Mount Langhi Ghiran) is the head winemaker. Clyde Park's uncompromising approach to winemaking and viticulture has put it at the forefront of the Geelong region's growth as a premium wine region of Australia.
Other Reviews...
From a north-facing slope at Clyde Park that was planted in 1996; 30% whole bunches and 25% new oak. A saturated crimson purple. A gorgeous wine from the get-go with its lifted aromas of dark cherries, black raspberries, florals and spice rack spices. Tightly wound, focused and concentrated, this has all the components to age magnificently over the next 10-plus years. In the meantime, give this some air and pair it with some aged porterhouse, if that's your thing! 140 dozen made. Drink: 2022-2035

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2023-2031)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Stelvin

Awarded an MW of wine in 2020, winemaker Duane Coates is by his own admission, a 'heart over head' winemaker. Inclined to make wine from almost any interesting parcel of fruit made available to him, he tends to make accountants wince. For Duane, making great wine is not about business decisions; it’s about curiosity, passion, and a little bit of folly. His wines marry Australia’s richness of fruit with the savouriness and complexity of the old world.
Matured for 18 months in 20% new French oak. Impenetrable pitch black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced blackberry and liquorice top notes meld into black cherry, subtle dusty vanillin cedar, earthy dried herb and pepper scents. The medium to full bodied palate is flush with rich blackberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits which are complexed by scorched earth, vanillin cedar and peppered dried herb elements. Gorgeous fleshy mouthfeel with velvet like tannins leading into a long, ripe yet polished and highly refined conclusion.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews....
This is fine, the clutch of reduction pressed ever so gently against a framework of oak, serving to infuse a sense of tension as much as a lattice of structure. Cooler climatic allusions of iodine, blue fruits, tapenade, salumi and violet. The drive, long and fresh, belying any sense of warm-climate origins. Little wonder given the top cru portions of Clarendon and Blewitt Springs fruit in the mix. Drink by 2030.

2022 Cobaw Ridge l'altra Syrah Pinot

Macedon Ranges, Victoria, AUSTRALIA

$54. 99
Bottle
$659.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.7%

Closure: Diam Cork

Situated 610 meters above sea level and overseeing Central Victoria, the Cobaw Ridge vines thrive in the granite-rich mountain soil, working hard to produce well-balanced grapes. This unique site's challenges, combined with the Cooper's dedication to sustainable and natural practices, result in wines that truly reflect their origin and time. No additives, fining, filtration, or stabilization are applied, except for minimal sulphites before bottling.
The l'altra is a mix of 90% Syrah (pressed as Rose) and 10% Pinot Noir pressings, aged in old oak. It has a vibrant and juicy taste, featuring pepper spice and herbal notes. It's enjoyable chilled, easy to drink, yet it has some interesting details and complexity.
Other Reviews....
For the technocrats, this is 90% syrah made as rose and 8% pinot pressings with the rest, lagrein. A lighter, fresher red emerges, but geez, not without seriousness…
Succulent lighter red of sappy, red cherry, cranberry, faint Aussie bush floral notes. Crisp texture, so damn refreshing, fine, lithe weave of lacy-silty tannins, some pink grapefruit tang and a wash of red fruits and pretty spice through the finish. We drink l’Anglore and such and think the world of it, but here’s that kind of lighter red in spades, in our backyard. Wonderful, complex, compelling lighter red, so frisky and vibrant and so much going on. Wonderful. Drink 2023 - 2028.

2022 Commune Of Buttons Mylor Syrah

Adelaide Hills, South Australia, AUSTRALIA

$34. 99
Bottle
$419.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Diam Cork

The 2022 Mylor Syrah came from Kas Sluiter's vineyard in Mylor, which has less than a hectare of three Syrah clones. The soil is sandy over light clay, and the site is protected by a large hill, allowing for a slow and extended ripening process. The grapes were sorted, chilled overnight, destemmed, and then fermented for 12 days. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to a fiberglass tank, where it matured for 10 months on fine lees.
Other Reviews....
From the Kas Sluiter vineyard in Mylor, which sits in a bit of shadow during large parts of the day. Brought to life through fibreglass resting before bottling. Commune Of Buttons has really been upping the ante of late. I visited this week and things in barrel are looking superb. A respect to vineyard and site shines through.
This is great. Soft in texture, supple, succulent, dark fruited but with game meat and cola characters, faint earthy notes, a touch of paperbark, some alpine herb elements. I love the perfume. Addictive. The palate delivers deliciousness, similar characters to the scents, a generosity but freshness, lots of flavour, lots of character. The gist is a wine that flows beautifully and with freshness in tow. It feels so easy to drink, but fancy in a way too. Reminds me of Gramenon at its best, if you get that reference. If you don’t, simply, this is delicious. Drink 2023 - 2028.

Iconic Australian Shiraz.

Shiraz was first brought to Australia in 1832 by James Busby, unwittingly with the help and co-operation of the French themselves! Today, Shiraz has become the country's most planted variety, synonymous with the ultimate expression of Australian red wine making. Icons such as Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace are now highly collectable and recognised amongst the world's great wines. It remains our biggest selling varietal.

Find the best Shiraz wines here.

The spiritual home of Shiraz in Australia remains old vine vineyards in the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Central Victoria also leads the charge, however, newer regions such as Margaret River, Heathcote and the Yarra Valley (Victoria) are taking Shiraz in alternative directions. Top producers include Torbreck, Sons of Eden, Standish, Greenock Creek, Mr. Riggs, d'Arenberg and Kay Brothers. Also look out for wines from France's Northern Rhone. Leading appellations here are Hermitage and Cote-Rotie. Other appellations such as Cornas, St. Joseph and Saint-Péray produce full bodied, early drinking reds that offer a great introduction to the region's style.
