2023 Shiraz By Farr 750Ml Bottle
Planted in 1994, the Shiraz vines sit on a north-facing slope of red volcanic soil, underpinned by limestone and deep-set sandstone.
Salty, peppery, floral and spiced, it lands more in northern Rhône than classic Aussie Shiraz. Black olive, lavender, crushed black pepper, a flicker of oak spice — all wrapped in a savoury, silken frame. There’s a coolness to it, sharpened by bright acidity that we see throughout the range of wines in this release.
It’s elegant and expressive - and it’s a clear example of what cool-climate Shiraz can be in the right hands.
