Moss Brothers Fidium Shiraz 2022

The team here suggest that this beautiful Margaret River Shiraz would be “perfectly paired with a Mexican slow cooked pulled pork served with fresh homemade tortillas”. Or perhaps you could just drink it, as that does seem a lot of work to go to, if one wants to enjoy a bottle of wine. Either way, it is a wine which is worth it. Pumping over and plunging took place twice a day after ferment before transfer to barrels for maturation. This is a powerful wine, with coiled force and concentration. A hint of tar with the blackberries, chocolate, espresso, coffee grinds and toasty oak. Good structure here, with focus, length and power. There is real grip, with the firm tannins. Leave it for at least two to three years, if possible, and then enjoy over the following decade.
