Description

The 2018 Fowles Upton Run Shiraz is a single-vineyard Strathbogie Ranges Shiraz, selected from the best five barrels of the vintage. The nose shows ripe plum, raspberry and black cherry with black pepper, nutmeg and vanilla oak, giving the wine a concentrated yet distinctly cool-climate character.

On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with dark fruit, velvety tannins and integrated oak leading to a long, savoury finish. Wild yeast fermentation is followed by 12 months in French oak, including 65% new barrels, adding structure and complexity.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy premium Australian Shiraz with dark fruit, peppery spice and developed oak character. The producer recommends drinking through 2030. Ideal with grilled steak, slow-cooked beef, roast lamb, venison or mushroom dishes.

About the region

Victoria · Strathbogie Ranges

Victoria has more wineries than any other Australian state and the widest spread of climates. Around Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong and Macedon Ranges are cool enough for restrained Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Inland, Heathcote and the Grampians make dense Shiraz, Beechworth works granite hillsides, and the King Valley has adopted Italian varieties. In the north-east, Rutherglen still makes fortified Muscat and Topaque in a style found nowhere else.
