Morambro Creek Padthaway Shiraz 2021 (Australia)

Description

Blueberry, Floral, Oak

"Sweetly fruited with savoury nuances, the wine shows dark plum, smoky bacon, rich floral, and assorted nut characters on the nose, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that's silky and plump with polished tannins. Well-structured and lingering with complex flavours. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2025

Deep inky black & purple in colour. The nose is perfumed with lifted mint, blueberry, vanilla and spice with a touch of liquorice and white pepper in the background. Expansive palate, smooth lush ripe blue-black fruits, nicely balanced oak, planty of concentration with a long finish.

Our family vineyard is located in the picturesque and historic Padthaway valley, 300km south of Adelaide. Our rich, fertile terra rossa soils, environmentally friendly viticulture, low yield, and exceptional fruit is how we consistently produce outstanding wines. Small parcels of the highest quality fruit are selected from our family vineyard and handcrafted to create wines with amazing depth of flavour, style and balance.

2021 was a very good season with predominantly mild, dry days. Yields were generally low and this did result in some excellent parcels of fruit being harvested. Vine-balance was carefully monitored, resulting in fruit that demonstrates the vibrancy and fruit-derived characters that we strive for in our wines.

Winemaking at Morambro Creek is very traditional and labour intensive. Oak maturation takes place using 35% new barrels both French and American. This blend was put together using select barrels from our family estate that best demonstrate the intensity of our fruit balanced by integrated oak.
