Tasting Notes
Marron Creek Shiraz 2021 is a red wine from the Frankland River region of Western Australia. It is made from 100% Shiraz grapes that are grown on Marron Creek's certified organic vineyard. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
Bright red berry fruits, balanced with subtle oak flavours of vanilla and spice leap out of the glass. Black pepper abound. Brooding plum characters, savoury olives add a nice complexity and contrast. A soft juicy berry flavour and mouth coating tannin gives this wine structure and length. Black olives and a little touch of salty seaweed goodness interplay with fresh red currants and dark cherries to balance the wine and give it intrigue. The length of the wine is long on the palate.

Scores
92 / 100"A heady mix of brambly boysenberries and mulberry jam. Acai and purple potato earthiness. There is olive tapenade, worn leather and cracked clay savoury notes on the palate. Astute in acidity and freshness the wine couples spice, fruit and undergrowth all in harmony. An old world feel to this emerging and very exciting region for Syrah. Tannins are silty and fine. A unique wine with plenty of interest, drinking very well now and will cellar for up to 3 years. Serve alongside a lamb ragu with pappardelle pasta.’"
