The 2023 Stanton & Killeen Shiraz/Durif is a full-flavoured Rutherglen red combining Shiraz and Durif, showing blackberry, black plum and dark cherry with cracked pepper, liquorice and savoury spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly structured, with vibrant acidity, firm tannins and layers of dark fruit, pepper and earthy spice. The finish is dry, powerful and persistent, with a subtle mineral edge adding definition.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy robust Australian reds with generous fruit and firm structure. Best enjoyed over the next 6–10 years. Pair with slow-braised beef ribs, pepper-crusted kangaroo, rosemary lamb shank or smoky eggplant and lentil stew.
