The 2024 Naked Run The Tribute Shiraz Mataro is a Clare Valley red blend that combines the richness of Shiraz with the savoury character of Mataro. Crafted in a generous yet balanced style, the wine opens with aromas of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry, layered with notes of cracked pepper, baking spice, dark chocolate and subtle savoury herbs. The 2024 vintage has already earned strong recognition on the Australian wine show circuit, highlighting its quality and regional character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant dark fruit, supple tannins and fresh natural acidity. Flavours of blackberry, ripe plum and cassis are complemented by hints of mocha, spice and well-integrated oak, leading to a smooth, persistent finish with excellent balance. Approachable in its youth, the wine also has the structure to develop additional complexity over the next 6–10 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy modern Australian Shiraz blends with richness, structure and savoury complexity. Pair it with chargrilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb, beef brisket, barbecue dishes or mature hard cheeses. Best served after a short decant, with rewarding drinking now or careful cellaring over the next 6–10 years.
