2025 Domenica Shiraz

The 2025 Domenica Shiraz is a refined cool-climate Shiraz from Beechworth, one of Victoria's most respected wine regions. Crafted by Domenica, the estate sits at around 460 metres above sea level on granite-rich soils, producing a Shiraz that emphasises elegance over power. The nose is expressive with aromas of blackberry, dark plum and violet, layered with black pepper, allspice and subtle earthy notes that reflect the vineyard's distinctive terroir.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by savoury spice, a touch of smoked meat and a mineral backbone, leading to a long, balanced finish. Traditional winemaking and careful maturation in French oak preserve the purity of fruit while adding texture and complexity.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Beechworth Shiraz for those who appreciate a cooler-climate style with freshness, savoury complexity and excellent structure. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar over the next 8–12 years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled beef, venison, mushroom dishes or mature hard cheeses.
