The 2024 Forest Hill Shiraz is a vibrant cool-climate expression from Mount Barker in Western Australia’s Great Southern, combining spice, freshness and layered fruit. The nose shows blackberry, plum and dark cherry, alongside notes of pepper, clove, dark chocolate and subtle savoury complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and fine tannins. Juicy dark fruit and warm spice are supported by fresh acidity, with hints of earth and savoury depth adding structure. The finish is long, balanced and gently savoury, reflecting a more elegant, cool-climate Shiraz style rather than heavy richness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great value cool-climate Shiraz that we position as an easy-drinking yet characterful Australian red. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy spice-driven, medium-bodied Shiraz with balance and freshness rather than bold, jammy styles. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with lamb, BBQ, grilled meats or hearty everyday dishes.
