The 2023 Paul Conti Mariginiup Shiraz is a flagship Western Australian Shiraz sourced predominantly from the Conti family's historic Mariginiup vineyard, first planted in 1948. Rich and expressive, it opens with aromas of ripe red berries, plum and blackberry, complemented by notes of aniseed, dark chocolate and sweet oak that reflect careful barrel maturation.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with silky, well-integrated tannins and a smooth, generous texture. Layers of ripe cherry, plum and dark berry fruit are supported by subtle spice and integrated American and French oak, finishing long, dry and savoury with excellent structure and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2023 Paul Conti Mariginiup Shiraz is an excellent choice for those who enjoy rich, full-flavoured Shiraz with polished tannins and classic Western Australian character. It pairs beautifully with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-cooked beef, roast lamb or mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now after decanting, or cellar over the next 5–8 years as it develops additional savoury complexity.
