2023 Yeringberg Shiraz

Three clones (100-year-old, PT23, 1654). Vines planted 1999. Fully destemmed, with a mixture of crushed and whole berries. Some Marsanne, Roussanne & Viognier included in the ferment, less than 3% and not on the label. 23 days on skins, 25% new oak hogsheads, 19 months in barrel.

A vintage that plays on the aromatic elegance and finesse of Shiraz, 2023 has produced a wonderfully perfumed wine, with savoury depth and concentrated blue fruits. The nose is fresh and lively, with aromas of blueberry, violet and fennel, along with notes of five-spice and white pepper. The palate, simultaneously silky and serious, laden with inky blue & black fruits, has an undertow of savoury, ferrous complexity and gossamer tannins. A sophisticated, mid-weight wine that will drink well from the outset and over the next 10 years or so. – Sandra de Pury

Subtle aromas of plums, dark cherries, cured meat, wet earth, violets and spices. The palate is medium-bodied with superfine tannins, bright acidity and a soft and seamless finish. Such a lovely mid-weight shiraz with a nice aromatic lift. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 94 points. Ryan Montgomery, jamessuckling.com Mar 2025
