The 2023 First Creek Single Vineyard Marrowbone Shiraz is a premium Hunter Valley Shiraz sourced from the renowned Marrowbone Vineyard, showcasing the elegance, purity and regional character of this exceptional single-vineyard site. The nose is rich and expressive, revealing aromas of mulberry, blackberry and dark cherry, complemented by notes of exotic spice, cracked black pepper and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins, bright natural acidity and a beautifully silky texture, delivering flavours of ripe plum, mulberry and dark cherry layered with hints of black pepper, gentle spice and savoury complexity. The finish is long, fresh and beautifully balanced, with outstanding fruit definition, seamless tannin integration and the hallmark elegance of premium Hunter Valley Shiraz.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional single-vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz for customers who appreciate elegant, medium-bodied reds with purity, finesse and outstanding regional character. Beautifully approachable now after a short decant, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 8–10 years. Ideal with grilled lamb, duck breast, premium beef steaks, slow-braised beef, mushroom dishes or mature hard cheeses.
