Mitchelton Shiraz
Nagambie Lakes
Price Range at Release: $20-$29
Vintage: 2021
Alc %: 14.3
$ Rel: 28
A restrained but flavoursome medium-bodied central Victorian shiraz whose brooding fragrance of dark flowers, dark berries and fiery spices is backed by smoky cedar/vanilla oak and lifted by a whiff of musk. Supported by a gravelly spine, its even length of black and blue fruits, charry oak fine, drying tannins finishes savoury and with a lively acidity. Quite European in style.

Winery

Since buying the property and brand in 2011, the Ryan family has developed Mitchelton into one of the signature destinations in Australian wine, featuring a brilliantly appointed boutique hotel and day spa. The property also hosts The Muse restaurant and the Mitchelton Gallery of Aboriginal Art (Australia's largest) and its remarkable contemporary collection. Currently undergoing a major renovation in its extensive vineyard, Mitchelton is steadily moving towards a focus on white and red varieties from the Rhone Valley in France - such as shiraz, grenache, mourvedre, marsanne and roussanne - all the while retaining and developing what is perhaps its most consistent wine over the decades, the Blackwood Park Riesling.
