Robert Parker
"A sublime Australian Syrah, masterfully crafted: lightness, balance, and freshness make this vintage a great wine, according to Wine Advocate."
The Woodcutter's Shiraz 2022 is an excellent introduction to Barossa Shiraz. It displays all the earthy, red gravel, and ironstone characteristics that infuse the tannic structure, while being enriched by dense, purple fruit. It shows lightness, balance, and freshness, making it a great wine. The spicy tannins are magnificent, chewy and slightly grippy [...]. The fruit for this wine comes from various sources in the Barossa (including Eden Valley). It is very good. [...] 2024-2032" (Wine Advocate - 2024) • Screw cap

About wine:
The Woodcutter's Shiraz 2022 is an excellent introduction to Barossa Shiraz. It has all the earthy, red gravel, and ironstone characteristics that infuse the tannic structure, while being enriched by dense, purple fruit. It is light, balanced, and fresh, making it a great wine. The spicy tannins are magnificent, chewy and slightly grippy. Aged for 10 months in oak barrels, "the 2023 is coming out of oak as we speak," says winemaker Ian Hongell. The fruit for this wine comes from various sources in the Barossa (including Eden Valley). It is very good. 15% alcohol, screw cap. 2024-2032

About wine:
There are lots of blackcurrants and blackberries to start with. It is spicy, with a hint of chocolate oak and a warm, earthy mineral core. The palate is also spicy and sculpted, with a nice line of acidity and taut, herbaceous, spicy tannins. Drink now through 2034.
