2023 Shiraz 1.5L Magnum

Samuel's Gorge 2023 Shiraz 1.5L Magnum

 

Shiraz is a grape that was first introduced to Australia in the 1830’s and it quickly became one of the most popular and successful varieties. It has evolved with us, and our culture, and is now woven so deeply into the fabric of our food and wine scene that it would be almost impossible to unravel. The joy of this grape is that it can display restraint and exuberance simultaneously. It is happy on our dinner table, playing a supporting role to the main meal, yet it will hold its own if enjoyed unaccompanied.  A jack of all trades, a real Aussie.

The richly flavoured 2023 Shiraz really takes you on a journey. Upon opening, this wine transports you to a warm summer afternoon. The scent of sun-baked clay, dry wildflowers and warm earth spring to mind. There are wisps of pepperberry, woody herbs and briny olives, complemented by blackberry, tea leaves and bramble fruit.

With a bit of time, the dusty landscape that was conjured up, changes to something lusher and more fruit-driven. Blackcurrant, liquorice and the salty, sweet fruit of the pigface plant are what we taste. Finishing long and dry, the gentle tannins subtly provide structure to this medium bodied wine.  

Enjoy a glass (or a bottle) of this wine paired with braised beef short ribs flavoured with soy, ginger and hoisin.
