The Colonial Estate Explorateur Shiraz 2025, Barossa Valley

Deep crimson with vibrant purple hues. Aromas of blackberry, black plum and blueberry are layered with cracked pepper, liquorice and dark chocolate, with subtle cedar and savoury spice adding complexity. The palate has an overall fruit sweetness that flows with concentrated dark fruit across a plush, generous frame. Fine-grained tannins provide further intensity while balanced acidity maintains freshness. Layers of ripe plum, blackberry, and pepper build through the mid-palate, leading to a long finish.

Vino Masters Score: 94/100 ★★★★★ A rich Barossa Shiraz delivering concentrated dark fruit and solid tannins.
