Wild Folk Nouveau Shiraz 2023

Shiraz from the Padthaway region, it is intriguingly packaged and as the name possibly infers, the wine is from the minimalistic approach, as natural as can be. Wild yeasts and no additions, this is preservative free, unfined and unfiltered. Open fermenters were used, before a spell in stainless steel. A vibrant purple colour, this is young, indeed, so fresh it almost seems to bubble with joy (not bubbling, of course). Some chocolate and briary notes here, with blackberries and hints of cassis. Supple and sleek, there are fine tannins with mulberry characters emerging on the palate. The wine has decent length and is a pleasure to drink. Drink now and over the next three years.
