2022 HADDOW + DINEEN ‘CROWS DESCENDED’ SHIRAZ
2022 HADDOW + DINEEN ‘CROWS DESCENDED’ SHIRAZ
Hand-picked, wild yeast, barrel fermented, unfined and unfiltered.
From fruit grown in one of the oldest vineyards in the Tamar Valley, this is not what you expect when you think of cool climate Shiraz. Complex, spicy, generous and expressive Shiraz.
(Shipping: We have a flat rate of $15, any quantity, anywhere in Australia).
OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINIONS
2024 Halliday Wine Companion:
96 points - Gold Medal
“Some Hermitage-esque, Rhôney pony action going on here. Broody satsuma plum and dark berry fruits cut with hints of roasting game meats, pepper, dark spices, powdered basalt, pan juices, panforte, pressed purple flowers and turned earth. Full bodied yet succulent with a tight, fine-grained tannin architecture and a vital sense of minerally drive. Cracker.”

This wine encapsulates Haddow’s “different narrative” ideal. The ubiquitous shiraz in the one place you least expect it. Sinewy, not skinny. Fine-framed but shapely. Black and blue berries, a generous dusting of spices and a superfine swathe of highly pixelated tannins tapering the finish.
