The 2024 Charteris Hunter Shiraz is a classic Hunter Valley red from winemaker PJ Charteris, capturing the region’s naturally medium-bodied and savoury expression of Shiraz. The nose shows red cherry, plum and blackberry with violet, cracked pepper, dried herbs and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, juicy red and dark fruit and fine, supple tannins. Pepper, spice and savoury notes add complexity, while the finish remains fresh, balanced and finely structured rather than heavy. Charteris is particularly known for its modern interpretation of traditional Hunter Valley Shiraz.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Shiraz drinkers who enjoy elegant, savoury reds with freshness and moderate weight. Pair with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck, mushroom dishes or charcuterie, and enjoy young or allow a few years of bottle development.
