Shiraz 2023

Plums and blackberries are framed by long lean lines of tannin and acid. Pepper and cocoa spice are complexed with Cointreau orange. The finish is long and florals reveal themselves in the length. Ready to drink, or time cellaring will be rewarding.

No stranger to the world of winemaking, Alister Timms grew up on his family’s vineyards on the Bellarine Peninsula, planting vines at the age of 10. After studying Oenology at the University of Adelaide, Alister joined Shadowfax as assistant vineyard manager. He then spent time managing his family’s winery, Kilgour Estate and travelled to Italy to spend two vintages in Tenuta di Valgiano in Tuscany. Alister later returned to Shadowfax to manage the winery’s vineyards and establish the new Little Hampton estate in the Macedon Ranges before becoming Chief Winemaker in 2017.
