Mattinson review of Moppity Block A5 Shiraz 2022.

Moppity Block A5 Shiraz 2022
$45, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Canberra/Murrumbateman.

Canberra shiraz has a great ability to blend treble, bass and midtones to such captivating effect. This wine shoots dark plum flavours straight at you, while also blending sweet red cherry, twiggy spice, roasted nut and game characters as part of that dark juice, while also throwing potpourri characters wildly throughout. It’s exquisitely well handled, and flavoured, and presented. Fine-grained tannin caps it all off perfectly. 94 points.
