Wine Description
The Monster Shiraz is the archetype of full-bodied, full-blooded shiraz.
The grapes for The Monster are picked from the west side of the ridge, harvested 7-10 days later than the other shiraz. The extra “hang time” helps develop big, bold, concentrated flavours. Careful blending with earlier-picked shiraz, before bottling, produces a soft, well-balanced flavour profile.
Full-bodied and dark garnet-coloured, this Monster displays aromas of plum, cedarwood and vanilla. The palate is generous and mouth-coating, with buckets of cardamon spice, cherry-choc-mint, and hints of dried flowers. The tannins settle gracefully on the palate, providing a long dry finish. Drink now or cellar for 10+ years.
Accolades
Across all vintages since the first release in 2015, The Monster Shiraz has a Vivino Rating of 4.3 stars, positioning it in the top 3% of all the wines in the world.
