Deeply intense aromas of plum, spice and cherry introduce a thoroughly beautiful wine. The palate is supple, soft and generous, displaying dark plum, cherry, spice and a touch of dark chocolate. It was matured for 18 months in French oak, 30% of which was new. Blueberry, violet, black pepper and graphite add further complexity to this outstanding wine.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bennie, Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Medium-bodied shiraz of supple texture, fine, grippy tannins, big perfume and lots of forest berry flavours meshed to woody spices, licorice and black olive. It feels quite sleek in the palate, the finish a bit firm and bitter, but this a small shortfall in a wine of power and elegance overall.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bennie, Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Big and bold shiraz that finds its groove. Opens with a fog of scent in blackberries, mocha, game meat, clove and pencil shavings with faint roast meat elements. The palate is deep in choc-berry territory, more of the meaty pan juice character emerges, some clove, anise and granitic-minerally elements, too. A serious feeling wine with lots of depth and character, layers to it all, and a sense that this is great for longer term cellaring.\" (2021 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRalph Kyte-Powell, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Impenetrably deep and purple, The nose is inky and closed at the moment, but with air it reveals itself more. Plum, mulberry, pepper, and exotic spices like clove and aniseed meet the nose in suave harmony, and a mouthful follows those cues in a medium-bodied, seamless wine that builds across the palate to a very long, grippy finish.\" (2018 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Densely packed with flavour from every angle, this is seriously silky, seriously flavoursome and very long. An impressive wine which leads with red forest fruits and closes with the same. The acid and tannins are thick as thieves. A beautiful wine.\" (2018 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\"This top-tier shiraz is very complex and delivers so much spice on the nose and palate. Dark berries, flurries of red fruit and plenty of chocolate here. Smoothly layered tannins fan out and drive plenty of fresh fruit flavor. Big, spicy crescendo at the finish.\" (2018 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e \"...shows all the muscle, density and spice that we can expect from the subregion. This is excellent, with notes of spiced and poached blood plums, raspberry, red licorice, layers of aniseed\/clove\/fennel, blackberry and dark cocoa. The tannins that frame it are pliable and firm—it's part of what makes the Great Southern so great for Shiraz.\" (2018 vintage) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWestern Australian winery, Plantagenent is acclaimed internationally for its consistently highly-awarded, quality wines produced from its five vineyards located in the cool climate region of the Great Southern.

It is the largest wine growing region in Australia and is the second largest producer of grapes in Western Australia. It is a landscape of forested cliffs and resplendent mountain ranges, grazing pastures and towns steeped in history. The regional climate ranges from the coastal, maritime subregions of Albany and Denmark to the inland, continental subregions of Mount Barker, Porongurup and Frankland River. The predominant soils are similar to those of the Margaret River region - either lateritic gravelly sandy loams (marri country) or sandy loams deriving directly from granite and gneissic bedrocks. Near perfect conditions for grape growing has lured some of the most creative and talented winemakers to call this land their home and become part of its ancient story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe region is known for commitment to be sustainable, and organic, and is attracting some of Australia’s best winemakers. In 2023 the region dominated the Halliday Wine Companion Awards with its Top Rated 2023 Rieslings winning 10 of the top 40 awards. Other varietals from the region also received exceptional ratings of 97, 96 \u0026amp; 95 points.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plantagenet Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48930989834472,"sku":"PLAN-WYCOL-SH22-7506","price":99.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/PlantagenetWyjupCollectionShiraz2022-Mt.Barker_WesternAustralia.jpg?v=1792394016","url":"https:\/\/popupwine.com.sg\/products\/plantagenet-wyjup-collection-shiraz-2022-mt-barker-western-australia","provider":"Pop Up Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
