Mayford Shiraz 2023

Posted on 30 October 2025.

This wine looks both very young and very good. It’s a wine of finesse, and flavour, and polish, and finish. It shows more cherries than plums, more spice than toast, more delicacy than oomph. And yet it comfortably fills the mouth with flavour, and comes with highlights of orange rind and Campari, and is slipped with such impressively fine tannin. It’s a new-fashioned – and arguably more elite – version of an old-fashioned Ovens Valley Burgundy. There are few higher compliments that can be bestowed.
