2022 Heirloom A'lambra Shiraz, Barossa Valley

An impressively structured and wonderfully pure '22 shiraz, deep in colour with plush Doris plum, blackberry, cassis and black cherry cut with hints of dark chocolate, espresso, licorice, clove, creamy oak, jasmine, pepper, roasting meats and black olive tapenade. It strides across the palate confidently, velvety and graceful, with finely packed tannins and a lovely presence and flow to the wine's travel.

95 points Dave Brookes winecompanion.com.au

The wine has an intense bright purple hue and an inkier royal red carpet colour closer to the centre of the glass. It offers some very unique and distinctive aromas of blackberry and intriguing notes of spice, and the perfume of blueberries. The palate is cool, fresh and lightly but persistently fruity and zingy. The finish is fine, natural and unforced. There is some cream and spice from the French oak but its all about the pure fruit.
