The 2021 Indigo Umpires Decision Shiraz is a vibrant and elegant cool-climate Shiraz crafted in a refined Australian style, showcasing expressive dark fruit, savoury spice and exceptional balance. The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing aromas of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum, complemented by notes of cracked black pepper, violet, liquorice and subtle cedar oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, silky tannins, bright natural acidity and a smooth, concentrated texture, delivering flavours of blackberry, blueberry and dark plum layered with hints of dark chocolate, baking spice, savoury herbs and gentle oak. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, highlighting the freshness and finesse that define cool-climate Shiraz.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Shiraz for customers who appreciate elegant, fruit-driven reds with polished tannins and excellent regional character. Perfect for entertaining, family dinners or enjoying by the fire. Best enjoyed now after a short decant, or cellar over the next 6–10 years as it develops greater savoury complexity. Ideal with grilled lamb, premium beef steaks, barbecue ribs, slow-cooked beef or mature hard cheeses.
