2023 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: The 2023 vintage was very cool and very even in temperature, so we were able to harvest each variety in its perfect window of premium ripeness for the intended wine styles. This was the third cool year in a row and the fruit flavours across the board were exceptional. 

Nose: Bright and inviting, the nose bursts with raspberry and juicy blueberry, supported by a medley of fresh, lifted fruit aromas. The fragrance is vibrant and expressive, hinting at the wine's plush and generous palate to come. 

Palate: The palate flows with flavours of red strap liquorice, perfumed violets, and ripe blueberry, creating a rich yet elegant profile. Soft, velvety tannins provide structure, while the lingering finish carries a gentle sweetness of fruit and spice. 

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.
