Marnong Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz 2023

Written By Campbell Mattinson

Marnong Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz 2023
$40, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Sunbury.

This shiraz wears its cool climate origins on its sleeve. It’s light-bodied with peppery spice characters littered throughout, the fruit flavours themselves in the red cherry and strawberry spectrum. It’s not deep but it’s complex. Roasted nut and herb characters are on open display too, enhancing the complex impression further. If you like cool, peppery shiraz you will enjoy this wine. 90 points.
