The 2023 Shiraz has a wide range of fruit flavours and aromas, the focus is predominantly on perfume and elegance rather than raw fruit power. The use of soft extraction techniques, cooler ferment temperatures and open fermenters has resulted in a wine with lovely perfume, dark fruit flavours and fine tannin structure. The palate has plenty of dark cherries, plums, blueberry, scorched earth, liquorice and spice. The introduction of stems and older oak has given the wine greater complexity, more spice and added texture. Enjoy now or anytime over the next 5-10 years.

Reviews	95 Points - HallidayLots to enjoy here from the dark purple hue and heady aromatics to the supple palate and nothing out of place. Sweet dark plums are spiced with licorice sumac and a more savoury woodynutty note. The fuller-bodied palate is rather buoyant and supple although with plentiful tannins. The texture of hazelnut skins adds shape and the juicy acidity is refreshing so this finishes on a high note.Jane Faulkner.93 Points - Wine PilotA potent mix of blood plums steeped boysenberries and squashed mulberries. Black olives sit side by side with rosemary and thyme. . There is almost a pillow of blue fruit too its assertive tannins provide the framework to hang the lush fruit upon. A sappy wine with stuffing that manages to still have an ease to the drinkability and leisure like quality of the overall product. Shanteh Wale

Winemakers Notes

The 2023 vintage produced some wonderful Shiraz parcels the direct result of a very warm ripening period that suited Shiraz. Once again we incorporated a portion of sun-dried stems 20-30 whole bunch and some whole berries in the Wallcliffe ferments.The idea was to get some additional perfume structure and complexity into the Shiraz whilst nurturing the inherent fruit power of the vintage. Whole bunch and sun-dried stem parcels were wild fermented at slightly cooler temperatures than previous vintages this partial carbonic maceration technique introduces a vibrant spicy red fruit component to the blend. After pressing the batches were racked off heavy lees and then inoculated for MLF before being transferred into used French oak puncheons. After 10 months maturation in oak the batches were blended and bottled.
