2021 The Wheelwright Shiraz

The 2021 Shiraz Wheelwright is a charming Eden Valley Shiraz with wide appeal due to its natural approachability and surprising delicacy. Intriguing wafts of celery salt, potpourri, and Mediterranean herbs sit comfortably over a manicured core of plum skin and dark cherry aromas. Flavors tend more towards blackcurrant and graphite, with impressive brightness. Willowy tannins deliver a long yet fine finish. - Angus Hughson (04/2025)

A deeply brooding wine with aromas of plums, mocha, spices, and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with velvety tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mulberries, cassia bark, blackcurrants and rose petals. Very refined, balanced and pure, with an underlying power. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (11/2024)

Aromatic and expansive, with details of dried lavender and Earl Grey alongside pure and juicy notes of raspberry, cherry, kirsch and blueberry preserves. Accents of green olives, cardamom and cigar box leave a stunning expression on the long, expressive finish. The tannins are dense but polished and never get in the way. Shiraz. Drink now through 2036. - MaryAnn Worobiec (08/2025)

The 2021 The Wheelwright Single Vineyard Shiraz is succulent and chalky, with dried herb and crushed rocks, blackberry, mulberry and a hint of pastrami. The fruit was grown at an elevation of 500 meters, and the vines are planted in a contour, mostly north facing. This is ultimately a spicy, red-fruited expression. There are notes of raspberry seed, shades of nori, blood and gore. It is fresh and beautiful and slinky, in its way. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin (03/2025)
