A new vineyard development, a new beginning for the Melbourne semi-rural suburb of Plenty and what a promising start for a new Victorian Shiraz. This reserve style has been identified from a single block on FIVE Vineyard – Block F – and it’s a charmer with its mix of red and black fruits with a hint of blueberry, too, and a bounty of sweet spices. The spicy edge is a big attraction of this wine with its liveliness and note of black pepper that lingers. All up, a nicely elegant young Shiraz that delivers the opportunity for mid-term cellaring, if desired.
