Wine Summary Image

Smooth and intense, this hearty shiraz is smooth and full of flavour but without any heaviness. Mitchell know how to make great wines and this red is no exception. It’s rich, soft and oozing with dark berries, chocolate, spice and hints of liquorice. A good one to cellar for 5-10 years. Open a bottle with your next steak or eggplant moussaka.

Expert Reviews

ANGUS HUGHSON

95 Points

Wines like this show the advantage of bottle age in regions such as the Clare Valley where young reds can be brutish, even overwhelming with their dense ripe fruit. But give them a couple of years to settle and their more subtle characters emerge, as is seen right here.The key to this wine is fantastic balance from start to finish. Quite deeply coloured, it’s ripe and generous but also carries great subtlety too – dark cherry, liquorice and old oak are topped with white pepper, eucalyptus and violets plus a hint of whole bunch spice. There is definitely something Rhoney going on here too. That is followed by a dry, juicy and mid-weight palate with some Clare Valley earthy flavours tied in to dark fruits and supported by long drying tannins with baking spices right on the finish. So much going on here, it is a belter, great value and has plenty of aging potential. Get some.

Winery Tasting Notes

AROMA

This classic and elegant 2016 Peppertree Vineyard Shiraz has musky and smoky aromas. Aromatics of bacon and cured meats tantalize the taste buds for what is to come.

PALATE

The palate is fruit forward with a pronounced plum and blue fruit flavour profile. Star anise and clove flavours shine through, leading into structured tannins with higher volume and weight. Drawing inspiration from traditional Syrah style wines, this Peppertree Vineyard Shiraz is slightly lower in alcohol, sitting at 14%.
