The 2021 Balgownie Estate Black Label Shiraz is a rich and savoury Bendigo Shiraz that showcases the depth, spice and elegance of this renowned Victorian wine region. Crafted from multiple vineyard parcels and co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier, it opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, dark plum and raspberry, layered with notes of black pepper, bush mint, cedar and subtle dark chocolate.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with plush fruit, fine tannins and a smooth, velvety texture balanced by fresh acidity and gentle oak spice. The finish is long, polished and savoury, delivering both power and refinement.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent cool-climate Australian Shiraz for customers who enjoy richer reds with spice and structure while still maintaining elegance and drinkability. Softer and more refined than many Barossa styles, it offers impressive balance and versatility. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with lamb, grilled meats, BBQ dishes or slow-cooked beef.
