Wynns Black Label Shiraz 2022

A SUPERB, EFFORTLESS SHIRAZ FROM THE OLD VINES OF COONAWARRA

 

"Sweet black berries rise from the glass followed by red fruits, aniseed and a whisper of woodsy oak before a rush of Aussie bush scents and bay leaf. Old Vines – widely known as Black Label Shiraz – unfolds in the glass with ease, unforced, comfortable in its own skin and almost ageless in style (it reminds me a little of Penfolds St. Henri from that point of view).

The back label tells us that “vineyards planted in the 1890s and 1920s form the backbone and define” the wine’s style. Old vines are less vigorous and set smaller crops resulting in a greater concentration in fruit flavour. It’s all here to enjoy in a world black and red fruits, chocolate and spice with a touch of savouriness against a background of easy flowing, elegant tannins." - Wine Pilot


"Shiraz (formerly known as “Hermitage”) is an important part of Coonawarra’ s history. The acknowledged reputation of Coonawarra for age worthy wines has largely centred on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Shiraz blends. However, the very early history (in the 1890s) focused on other varieties – particularly Shiraz.
 
Today Wynns is privileged to grow Shiraz on many prime locations within Coonawarra. These vineyards have stories to tell and a history of quality. We select the Black Label Shiraz from the oldest of them including the Undoolya vineyard, a rare fragment of the original 1890s fruit colony planting, which was planted in between 1894 and 1987. Wynns ‘Old Vines’ Shiraz is a superb example of Coonawarra’s cool climate style." - Wynns
