The 2022 Moppity Lock & Key Shiraz is a rich and expressive cool-climate Shiraz crafted in a refined Australian style, combining vibrant fruit with spice, structure and elegance. The nose is inviting and aromatic, revealing aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry, layered with notes of black pepper, liquorice, subtle vanilla and well-integrated oak.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with silky tannins, balanced natural acidity and a generous, velvety texture, delivering concentrated flavours of blackberry, black plum and dark chocolate complemented by hints of spice, mocha and savoury oak. The finish is long, smooth and persistent, showcasing excellent balance and depth while remaining highly approachable in its youth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent cool-climate Shiraz for customers who enjoy rich, fruit-driven reds with polished tannins and impressive complexity. Perfect for entertaining, weekend barbecues or pairing with hearty meals. Enjoy now after a short decant, or cellar over the next 6–10 years as additional savoury characters develop. Ideal with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb, beef short ribs, gourmet burgers or aged hard cheeses.
