Altera Terra Fidelis Shiraz 2022
$75.00
Blended across three regions, this is a classic Doug Neal red of fragrance, texture and balance, in this case reminiscent of Crozes-Hermitage. Lifted by heady scents of potpourri and eastern spice, its fragrance of redcurrants, blackberries and blood plums is both densely packed and floral. Supported by a drying, gravelly spine, its luscious core of plump, translucently bright black and red fruits knits tightly with cedary oak, extending long and measured towards an artfully balanced and savoury finish.

Altera Terra
Doug Neal has shifted his attention from the now-defunct Paradise IV vineyard near Geelong to making a range of small batch reds from regions as diverse as Murrumbateman, the Pyrenees and McLaren Vale. From the respected Long Rail Gully vineyard (Murrumbateman), he crafts a 'Corda' dry red blend of pinot noir and shiraz, plus a 'Sanctus' shiraz varietal with an occasional splash of pinot. With access to the excellent but tiny Wood's Paddock vineyard, he crafts an eponymous Shiraz of rare quality and Hermitage-like style, while he continues to craft a range of delightful and easy-to-drink blends by marrying the qualities of the three regions. Typically plush and mouthfilling, Doug Neal's wines deliver rare charm and balance, plus rather extraordinary value for money (especially when compared directly with their more feted regional competition).
