The 2022 Indigo Umpires Decision Shiraz is a vibrant and expressive cool-climate Shiraz crafted in a refined Australian style, showcasing bright dark fruit, savoury spice and exceptional balance. The nose is rich and inviting, revealing aromas of blackberry, black plum and dark cherry, complemented by notes of cracked black pepper, liquorice, violet and subtle cedar oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, silky tannins, balanced natural acidity and a smooth, concentrated texture, delivering flavours of ripe blackberry, blueberry and plum layered with hints of dark chocolate, baking spice and savoury herbs. The finish is long, elegant and beautifully balanced, highlighting the freshness and finesse of cool-climate Shiraz.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Shiraz for customers who enjoy elegant, fruit-driven reds with polished tannins and plenty of regional character. Perfect for relaxed dinners, entertaining or pairing with hearty cuisine. Best enjoyed now after a short decant, or cellar over the next 6–10 years as it develops additional savoury complexity. Ideal with grilled lamb, premium beef steaks, barbecue ribs, slow-cooked beef or mature hard cheeses.
