Nick O’Leary Shiraz 2023 375ml from the Canberra District is a cracking half‑bottle option, packing all the estate’s cool‑climate class into a compact, midweek‑friendly format that still feels special at the table. It’s bright, aromatic and wonderfully drinkable, showing Nick’s hallmark polish and balance.

In the glass, this Nick O’Leary Shiraz 2023 375ml bursts with pretty red berries, dark cherry, dusted spice, pressed red florals and lifted white pepper, all wrapped in a silky, medium‑bodied palate of dark berry fruits and subtle savoury notes. Fine, long tannins and refreshing acidity keep everything humming along, making it dangerously easy to finish the half bottle in a blink.

On the food front, reach for grilled lamb cutlets, peppered steak, gourmet sausages, mushroom ragù or smoky eggplant – this Canberra Shiraz loves char and savoury richness. The 375ml size is perfect for two over dinner, a midweek treat or adding an extra red option to a mixed selection at home.
