Torzi Matthews Frost Dodger Shiraz 2024 from Torzi Matthews at the frost-prone Mt McKenzie vineyard in Eden Valley explodes with deep purple intensity and complex blue fruit seduction – a garage-handcrafted Shiraz from 29-year-old vines on clay loam over shaley schist that delivers velvet richness and firm-ripe tannins from a mild, dry vintage of amazing flavour depth.

Full dark blue fruits and black cherry dominate the glass with aromatic lift, savoury schist earthiness and subtle dried herb whispers revealing classic Eden Valley complexity and power. The velvet palate surges with concentrated berry core, ripe structured tannins and bright acid line gliding to a long, satisfying finish of plush persistence and balance.

Grill it with wood-fired lamb shoulder, venison pie or shiitake ragu – its structure and fruit embrace game with commanding poise. It thrives alongside aged cheddar platters or kangaroo fillets, making every Eden Valley feast a compelling reason to hunt this frost-dodging gem now.​
