The 2022 Mountadam Five-Fifty Shiraz is a rich and approachable cool-climate Shiraz from Eden Valley’s high-altitude vineyards at 550 metres above sea level, offering impressive depth and value. The nose is vibrant and expressive, showing blackberry, dark plum and black cherry layered with cracked pepper, spice, violet and subtle chocolatey oak notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with plush dark fruit flavours, supple tannins and balanced acidity that gives freshness and structure. Hints of licorice, cedar and savoury spice carry through to a smooth, polished and food-friendly finish. The style is generous yet refined, combining classic Shiraz richness with the elegance and freshness of Eden Valley fruit.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent everyday premium Shiraz for customers who enjoy bold fruit, spice and smooth drinkability without excessive heaviness. Perfect with BBQ meats, roast lamb, burgers or hearty pasta dishes. Drink now or over the next 5–7 years for added complexity.
