The 2024 Punt Road Shiraz is a cool-climate expression of Shiraz from the Yarra Valley, offering a fresh and balanced take on this classic Australian variety. The nose is fragrant and inviting, with aromas of blackberry, plum and dark cherry complemented by notes of black pepper, spice and subtle floral lift. Bright fruit character and regional elegance define the wine's style.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a smooth, flowing texture. Flavours of dark berries, plum and spice are supported by savoury undertones and restrained oak influence, creating a wine with both freshness and depth. The finish is long, balanced and gently peppery, reflecting the cool-climate character of the Yarra Valley.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Shiraz for those who enjoy a more refined and food-friendly style rather than a heavily weighted expression. Enjoy now or over the next 5–8 years. Pair with grilled lamb cutlets, roast beef, barbecue dishes, mushroom-based meals or aged cheddar cheese.
