Wynns Michael Shiraz 2014

Wynns Coonawarra Estate was founded by pioneer John Riddoch who planted vineyards in 1891, recognising the potential of the rich, red terra rossa soil and the long ripening season of Coonawarra's cool southerly climate.

Michael Shiraz is Wynns Coonawarra Estate’s best-of-vintage Shiraz. Named after David Wynn’s young son, the fruit used for this wine comes from the best vineyard sites in Coonawarra and is only made in years when the best quality fruit is available. The wine is a legend of the Australian wine story with good examples of the 1955 Michael offering an outstanding experience.

 "What a wine. It's spine-tingling, thrilling and the epitome of elegance. Vivid purple with red plums and black cherries, a floral note wafting in with powdered ginger and star anise. An evenly modulated palate, extraordinary powdery tannins and an ultra-long finish. There's such depth and complexity here, and it just appears effortless." 97 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion
