A nose of spices, tobacco, dried fruit, and wet rocks wrapped in a leather pouch.

Spicy cool climate Shiraz is fermented with whole bunches of a small portion of the white Viognier grape to produce this elegant style. Attractive floral notes of white flowers and peach blossom are enhanced by French oak and Rhone-like pepper and spice on the palate. Time in our cellaring programme has buffed the 2014 wine to a very smooth finish.

'Beautifully vibrant Shiraz from the Yarra Valley and very keen on expressing its regional and climatic personality with blue to red fruits rather than the dark to black. Its concentrated in the mouth with garden herb spices of bay and mint giving further depth with a subtle oak spicing for a final flourish.' - 4.5 Stars - Tony Love.

One of the Yarra Valley's up and comers, the Punt Road Shiraz is almost black in colour with aromas of cassis and a whiff of licquorice. A palate of plush plums and blackcurrant follows with flash of peppery spice. Kate Goodman continues to do a stellar job at one of the Yarra Valley's best wineries.
