Halliday Wine Companion
2023 Edition - Jeni Port
Destemmed and crushed fruit with some small parcels of whole berries, fermented in stainless steel and concrete, left 10–16 days on skins, matured 19 months in French oak. Another strong, composed, concentrated Tranter shiraz from what was an extended vintage which allowed for extra hang time. A mighty tidy shiraz, in striking deep purple hues with lifted aromatics melding with black berries, licorice, chocolate and Aussie bush notes. Taut, fine tannins are in perfect balance.

A beautifully soft red with round tannins and plenty of blackberry, licorice and asphalt. Cured-meat undertones, too. Medium-bodied with creamy and velvety tannins that are wonderfully integrated. Drink or hold.

The Wine Front positively reports from the headings "Very good
wine. As neat as it is intense. Tasted : Feb22" and "Tasted double blind in a line-up of
Heathcote shiraz. Muted aromatics but the palate is imposing. Plum, soy, redcurrant, mint and smoked cedar flavours work ..."
Looking forward to tasting it. Whilst I don't expect a top shelf Heathcote like a Wild Duck shiraz, I think it will be suited perfectly to a pizza or a midweek wine.
