"A solid, fruity and delicious Syrah according to James Suckling!"

"This wine shows true Syrah character with ripe strawberries and sweet tobacco with hints of bark and nuts. A little tile, too. Spicy. Medium-bodied, with lots of juicy fruit and a delicious finish. Solid Syrah. Drink now. Screw cap." (James Suckling 2022) - Screw cap

Expert opinion

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Rated (guide 2023) 90/100 (Wonderful wine)

Domain rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The Hunter Valley Shiraz 2021 is reduced on opening, but pops out of the glass with a little swirling. There's black pepper, pink pepper, lots of fresh, spicy acidity, sumac, iodine, poached strawberries and star anise. The acidity has a nettle flavor that I find very pleasant, but I think what the wine really needs is a little air. If you can give it a little air - either in your glass or in a decanter - I think the wine will be even more enjoyable. It has nice fruit, but it's very frisky at the moment. 13.5% alcohol, screw cap. 2023-2033
