Mattinson review of Moppity Block M4 Shiraz 2022

Moppity Block M4 Shiraz 2022
$45, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Hilltops.

This is a beautiful Hilltops shiraz. It’s all about drinking enjoyment but then, if you care to notice, it has myriad flavours and scents as part of its arsenal. These include blueberries, woodsy spices, purple flowers and smoked meat notes, with red licorice and sweet, smoky, toasty oak for afters. Viognier has been used to judicious effect here, adding to the lift and general complexity, as indeed have whole bunches. This is a wine of power, balance and structural integrity. It boasts both finesse and flavour; the dynamic duo of wine. 94 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
