2020 Plantagenet 'Lancaster' Shiraz

100% Shiraz

Deep Maroon in colour, with blue fruits, some spice, and a hint of black pepper on the nose, this wine is well integrated to form a dark, brooding intensity. It is a powerful and structured wine from a warmer Great Southern vintage with a densely fruited mid-palate, layered mouth-filling tannins, and structure to match. It will develop impressively over time.

Pair with a rich beef stew or wagyu steak

93 points - "A delightfully elegant medium-bodied succulent shiraz from this very good vintage. Loads of savoury plummy fruit evident immediately on the nose. The palate is soft and supple with a juicy plush mouth feel. Dark chocolate, lightly roasted coffee bean and a lift of spicy sage all work seamlessly together. An excellent wine." - Ray Jordan Wine.

92 Points - "Expressive and peppery with notes of black peppercorns, rosemary, black berry fruit and orange peel. Creamy, salty and tasty, with a medium to full body and nicely softened tannins." - James Suckling.

94 points - "It's sweetly ripe and elegantly perfumed on the nose, showing dark plum, raspberry, violet, warm spice and toasted almond notes, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's succulent and rounded. Wonderfully framed by fleshy texture and elegant tannins, offering excellent drinking." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit.
