The 2022 Forest Hill Highbury Fields Shiraz is a vibrant cool-climate expression from Mount Barker in Western Australia’s Great Southern, offering lifted aromatics and classic regional spice. The nose shows blueberry, satsuma plum and dark berries, layered with pepper, spice and subtle savoury notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky texture and ripe, balanced tannins. Juicy blackberry and plum fruit are supported by fresh acidity and hints of graphite and spice, leading to a smooth, approachable yet structured finish. The style is bright and fruit-driven, with a balance of freshness and gentle oak influence.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great value cool-climate Shiraz that we position as an easy entry into Great Southern reds. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy medium-bodied, spice-driven Shiraz rather than heavier Barossa styles. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with lamb, beef or casual grilled dishes.
