The 2022 Indigo Shiraz is a refined cool-climate Shiraz from Beechworth, Victoria, crafted in a medium-bodied style that balances ripe dark fruit with savoury spice and freshness. Grown on granite-based soils in north-east Victoria, the wine reflects the elegance and structure that define Beechworth reds, offering a more restrained expression compared to warmer-climate Australian Shiraz styles.
On the palate, it is smooth and balanced with fine tannins and bright acidity, delivering flavours of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry layered with black pepper, subtle spice and gentle earthy notes. The wine shows good depth and texture while maintaining freshness and regional finesse, finishing long and savoury with restrained oak influence.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Shiraz for customers who enjoy cool-climate reds with balance, spice and structure rather than overly heavy styles. The Beechworth region gives the wine freshness and elegance while still delivering generous dark fruit character. Drinking beautifully now and capable of evolving further over the next 5–7 years. Ideal with grilled lamb, roast beef, barbecue dishes or aged hard cheeses.
