Description / Reviews
"Inky purple crimson in colour, the Chatterton’s Shiraz is savoury and spicy. The palate is full-bodied with plums, mulberries and touches of dark cherries.
Fermented in open-top concrete vats. Pumped over twice daily. Basket pressed, wild malolactic fermentation in barrel and matured in new French oak barriques for 24 months prior to bottling without fining or filtration." - Neldner Road, Winemaker
"Inky black in the glass. Lifted aromas of stewed plum, mulberry, cocoa powder, sweet spice, chocolate pudding and blackberry pastilles. Mouth-filling, super-concentrated and plush in flavour, with lashings of dark fruits, oak and spice. The tannins are granular and shapely and the acidity brings some ping to the party." - 96 Points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
"The stunning 2021 Shiraz Chatterton's is made with fruit from six vineyards over 100 years old and delivers precise and pure kaleidoscopic aromas of blackberry, baked earth, game and roasted spice. The palate is then linear and seamless, with a powerful yet tight core of flavor supported by a genuine tannic grip. It is fascinating and beautifully crafted, and it will be a pleasure to see it unfold over the next two decades." - 96 Points, Angus Hughson, Vinous
