The 2019 Ross Hill Pinnacle Shiraz is a premium cool-climate Shiraz from the Orange wine region, sourced from the Griffin Road vineyard and produced from the estate's finest parcels. The nose is expressive with aromas of blackberry, raspberry and plum, complemented by white pepper, star anise and subtle French oak, reflecting the concentration of this outstanding vintage.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, structured tannins and vibrant natural acidity. Layers of dark berries, black olive and savoury spice are balanced by well-integrated oak, creating a powerful yet elegant wine with a long, refined finish. Eighteen months in French oak adds depth while preserving the purity and freshness of the fruit.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2019 Ross Hill Pinnacle Shiraz is an outstanding choice for lovers of cool-climate Shiraz with depth, finesse and excellent ageing potential. It pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled rib-eye, braised beef cheeks or mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now after decanting, or cellar confidently over the next 8–10 years as it develops even greater savoury complexity.
