2023 HentyFarm Malakoff Vineyard Shiraz

First release of their new wine, sourced from the Malakoff Vineyard at Henty (this vineyard has previously provided fruit for Rhone superstar, Michel Chapoutier). This is a Shiraz of style and finesse. There is certainly refinement here but also spicy notes, not least a noticeable hint of white pepper. Deep magenta in colour, there are strong tones of strawberries with sweet cherries. There is balance, satiny tannins and length here, in what is a fine cooler climate Shiraz that will provide pleasure over the next six to eight years.
