The 2014 Moppity Escalier Shiraz is a flagship cool-climate Shiraz crafted with exceptional depth, elegance and complexity. The nose is richly layered and intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of ripe blackberry, black plum and dark cherry, intertwined with cracked black pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate, cedar and subtle earthy notes developed through careful maturation.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with beautifully integrated tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a refined, velvety texture, delivering concentrated flavours of black fruits, blueberry and plum layered with notes of mocha, spice, savoury herbs and fine oak. The finish is long, powerful and remarkably balanced, showcasing the wine's structure, finesse and outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional flagship Shiraz for customers seeking a premium Australian red with remarkable complexity, elegance and cellaring pedigree. Now entering a wonderful stage of maturity, it offers beautifully integrated fruit and savoury tertiary characters while retaining impressive freshness. Enjoy after decanting, or continue cellaring for another 8–12 years under ideal conditions. Ideal with Wagyu beef, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, venison, braised beef cheeks or premium aged hard cheeses.
