2021 Shiraz

Tasting Notes

A good 10-year proposition, this young shiraz (tasted soon after bottling) is in good form and ready for time in the cellar, should you have the time and the patience. Otherwise, it's all there in the glass, coming together nicely in briary, mixed berry and plum aromas, lifted violet aromatics, aniseed and earth. Floats smoothly across the well-structured palate aided by fine, woody tannins. Plenty to like and enjoy here.

Maygars Hill

Strathbogie Ranges Victoria Australia

This 20 acre property was acquired by Jenny Houghton in 1994, for its viticulture potential and as a location for her bed and breakfast cottage.

3 acres was hand planted in 1997 into a light sandy loam. It is ideally situated in the Strathbogie Wine Region right on the border with the Goulburn Valley.

Planting has increased to 6 acres; 2 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 acres of Shiraz.

Strict viticultural policy with pruning, spraying and hand picking has achieved the required low yield per vine. This has consistently produced small berries of intense colour and flavour.

The altitude of 200 metres, combined with the light sandy loam and intensive monitoring, has produced grapes that enable a wine of elegance and complexity to be produced.
