Wendouree Shiraz Mataro 2023 (750ml)
An iron fist in a velvet glove best describes these extraordinary wines. They are fashioned with commitment from the very old vineyard (shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, malbec, mataro and muscat of alexandria), with its unique terroir, by Tony and Lita Brady, who rightly see themselves as custodians of a priceless treasure. The 100+-year-old stone winery is virtually unchanged from the day it was built; this is in every sense a treasure beyond price.
Quite minty, with honey and black fruit, flowering basil, nuts, cedar and cocoa. It has some orange juice tang to acidity and flavour, perhaps a little mead-like in a way, almond paste and orange peel, a light grainy grip to tannin with a sort of sooty feel, blue fruit and sour cherry on a finish of solid length. It’s a little bit edgy, though it’s still a good wine of character and interest. Date: July 2025; Alcohol: 13.2%; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2027-2036+; Rated: 92 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
