2022 K1 Middle Hill Shiraz

Adelaide Hills

Story: The Middle Hill Shiraz is sourced from the middle hill of the K1 vineyard, a picturesque sandstone ridge producing elegant, spicy, cool climate style Shiraz.

Vintage: 2022 Higher than average rainfall over winter followed by a warm and dry spring resulting in even budburst and a textbook start for the vintage. A cool but relatively dry summer gave us beautiful ripening conditions. This slow ripening allows great flavour development and retention of natural acidity.

Nose: Aromatic spice leads the way, layered with fragrant lavender and the warm, woody notes of cedar. Together, they create an inviting and complex bouquet.

Palate: Flavours of red liquorice and ripe plum intertwine with earthy undertones, fresh mint, and lemon thyme. A gentle lift of black pepper adds savoury intrigue, while fine tannins and balanced acidity guide the wine to a long, satisfying finish.

Pairing: Middle Hill Shiraz pairs perfectly with a classic homemade spaghetti bolognese. The wine's rich fruit and subtle spice complement the savoury slow-cooked sauce, while its smooth tannins balance the richness of the meat, creating a comforting and satisfying combination any night of the week.
