2022 Koomilya DC Block Shiraz 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews 96/100 — Halliday Wine Companion · 2022 Vintage “It's so nice to see these Block wines consistently show true to site, while also naturally fluctuating with the vintage. The DC is always the most traditional of feel – of intensity and fruit flavour – of the triad of wines, but it's as effortless, as delightfully free of artefact as the other wines. Deep of fruit, brooding, but never sweet or rich with it. Just a wine of thrumming presence with a bloody ferrousness, feeling of those ironstone-laced soils, old vines and that distinctive copper Tintara bush block. There's a character in all the wines that feels of that place, of the earth and the bush in the warmth of summer, but not of eucalypt, of mintiness, just of the scent of that serene place. An excellent wine.” — Marcus Ellis (Published: 20 August 2025) 94/100 — The Wine Front · 2022 Vintage  About This Wine A single block Shiraz from 50 year old vines grown on ancient, dark grey slaty siltstone soils flecked with ironstone facing south-east at an altitude of 108m.
