Terra Riche ‘The Rook’ Shiraz 2022, Great Southern

Terra Riche ‘The Rook’ Shiraz 2022, Great Southern

Winemakers Luke Eckersley and Coby Ladwig have delivered again.

Deep crimson with a dense purple core. Blackberry, black plum and blueberry, then liquorice, dark chocolate, cracked pepper and a thread of cedar.

Rich and concentrated. Dark fruit on a plush frame with firm shape. Fine-grained tannin. Oak brings mocha, cocoa and savoury spice. Ripe blackberry and plum through the mid-palate, acid keeping it fresh under the weight. Long, powerful finish. Great Southern grunt with pepper still in the mix.

Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★ A concentrated Great Southern Shiraz with blackberry, pepper and a long mocha finish.
