KIRKTON ESTATE The Katherine Shiraz 2022 75cl

This Adelaide Hills Shiraz is a confident, contemporary take on a classic style, offering richness without heaviness and fruit without excess. The ‘Katherine’ Shiraz delivers depth and poise in equal measure, shaped by the cooler climate of the Hills and a modern, restrained approach to winemaking.

Deep ruby in colour, it opens with layered aromas of black cherry, blackberry and cassis, followed by notes of cocoa, worn leather and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth and flowing, with ripe dark fruit at its core, fine tannins providing structure, and a dry, savoury edge that carries through to a long, composed finish.

An elegant, polished Shiraz that rewards both casual drinking and slower, more thoughtful enjoyment.
