Tasting Notes

Appearance

Deep brick red colour with rich red-purple hues, showcasing the wine's concentration and quality characteristic of this exceptional Rutherglen Shiraz from De Bortoli's prized estate vineyards.

Aroma

This Shiraz has aromas of chocolate, ripe blueberry, mocha and dark berries. The oak has integrated into the wine, adding aromas of cedar and spice. Chocolate and blackberry on the nose create an inviting and complex aromatic profile.

Palate

On the palate, this wine is well-structured, with richness and mouth-coating fine tannins supporting a core of dark fruit. Full-bodied, smooth textured and loaded with supple tannins, in good balance. Attractive flavours and palate weight, with the structure and backbone to age well. A wine to savour and enjoy.

Pairs With

This well-structured Rutherglen Shiraz pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef steaks, slow-cooked beef brisket, venison, mature hard cheeses, or rich pasta dishes, with the wine's richness and mouth-coating fine tannins making it an excellent choice for hearty meat dishes and robust flavours.

Selected from some of the most prized Shiraz vineyards on the De Bortoli Estate, the 2023 Shiraz is made to cellar, expressing its drinkability now but will continue to soften over the next 3-6 years, cellaring nicely for up to 10 years. This particular wine has received outstanding critical acclaim, with 91 points from The Real Review and Silver Medal at The Drinks Business Global Syrah Masters.
