96 Point Gold Medal Iconic Grampians Shiraz 2022 Cleanskin Dozen

The 96 Point Gold Medal Iconic Grampians Shiraz 2022 is a standout wine sourced from premium vineyards located in Great Western, one of Australia’s oldest and most highly regarded grape-growing regions. Known for its rich history and exceptional terroir, the Grampians wine region continues to produce wines of remarkable character and depth. This Shiraz is a testament to the unique qualities of the Great Western subregion, renowned for its bold, structured wines. Hand-selected fruit was meticulously harvested and transported to the winery for crushing and fermentation on skins. Each parcel of fruit was fermented separately to allow for blending flexibility and to showcase the varying characteristics of the grapes. The wine was aged for 12 months in new oak, allowing the concentrated fruit flavors to integrate beautifully and bring balance to the wine. The 2022 Grampians Shiraz presents a deep, dark purple hue in the glass, inviting you to explore its rich aromas of dark plum, fruitcake, and vibrant spice. The palate is seamless and structured, beginning with a burst of sweet plum, followed by layers of savory pepper, integrated oak, and fine tannins that create a long, commanding finish. The oak imparts subtle complexity while maintaining the focus on the intense fruit profile. This wine is already drinking beautifully, offering bold flavors and balance, yet it has the potential to age gracefully for up to 10 years, evolving in complexity over time. With a 96-point rating and a Gold Medal win, this wine is a masterclass in balance and boldness, making it an outstanding addition to any wine collection.
