Shiraz from the Alpine/Ovens Valley. Indeed it’s from the Con Mara vineyard at Whorouly South. I suspect that it was made by Jo Marsh but I don’t know that for sure. It’s a medium-bodied, well polished red wine with plum, black cherry, chicory and dry spice characters flying attractively through the mouth. There’s a creaminess to the mouthfeel but flavour-wise there’s a clear savoury element, though there’s ample ripe fruit to tuck into. It feels warmer and riper than 13.5% but there’s no heat; it feels generous and eager. The word seamless applies here.

From the Conmara Vineyard in Whouroly South, vinified in Beechworth, spending 14 months in four new French puncheons. This is a pretty remarkable wine - who would have imagined a relatively early-picked shiraz from the Alpine Valleys would have been able to cope with 100% new French oak, and 14 months for good value? Well, it does so insouciantly, its black cherry and plum fruit supported by oak tannins and flavours. 'More full-bodied that the '14' says the back label, and it certainly is.
