2024 Dune Blewitt Springs Shiraz

A gorgeously plush and rich yet refined Blewitt Springs Shiraz.

Dune is a project of brothers Duncan and Peter Lloyd (next generation Coriole) using fruit sourced from their vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. Blewitt Springs is known for deep sandy soils on yellow clays where Shiraz typically ripens later than other parts of McLaren Vale. It typically produces Shiraz of lifted dark fruit, floral and meaty notes, the tannin is fine yet chalky and the wines are often medium bodied rather than full.
Impenetrable inky black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Captivating dark plum, liquorice and ripe blueberry scents sail out of the glass with plenty of intensity followed by some dried herb, scorched earth and peppered meat notes. Gorgeously plush and rich yet refined in it’s flow, juicy dark plum, liquorice and ripe blueberry fruits swoop across the medium to full bodied palate. Fennel, spicy vanillin cedar and peppered earth elements line the back half. Seamlessly integrated tannins show great polish and only serve to enhance it’s glossy textural feel. Understated in its power it finishes long and generous yet highly finessed.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
