Craneford No.1 Shiraz

96 Points

Red fruits and spice weave through a dark, inky core, adding lift, freshness, and a distinctly Barossan signature. Subtle notes of graphite, charcuterie, and dried herbs enhance both complexity and depth.

The palate is rich, bold, and beautifully composed; concentrated black fruits, licorice, and cocoa framed by fine, powdery tannins and seamless oak integration. There’s both power and polish here: a wine of stature, energy, and balance.

Finishing long, savoury, and persistent, this is a classic Barossa Shiraz that delivers presence and poise in equal measure. Superb drinking now, yet certain to evolve gracefully over the next 10 years.

A commanding Shiraz of depth, purity, and drive.
