Deep Purple Hands Barossa Shiraz 2024
$40, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley,.

This is soft, sweet-fruited and substantial at once. It’s satisfying and then some. It tastes of raspberry jam and violets, licorice, sweet spices and cedarwood, with mint and clove motes woven throughout. The appeal of this wine is immediate; one sip and you have its measure – and it has yours. It’s also – true to its name – a vivid purple in colour, which is always good. 92 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.
