Duke’s Vineyard Magpie Hill Reserve Shiraz 2022, Porongurup, AUD $46
The Great Southern region of Western Australia is producing some of the finest examples of the more medium-bodied, elegant and spicy styles of Aussie shiraz.
Deep-ish red with a good purple tint; the bouquet spicy and cool-grown, stylish and fine, with a medium bodied palate of real elegance, fine texture and refreshing acidity. A seriously lovely wine that is drinking superbly already—not a try-hard, but beautifully balanced and very approachable young. (Screwcap)
