Ros Ritchie Shiraz 2022 by Ros Ritchie Wines in Victoria’s high‑country is a dark, generously flavoured cool‑climate shiraz that balances richness with savoury detail. This 2022 Shiraz Ros Ritchie release shows dark plum and blackberry with warm baking spice, clove and white pepper, framed by understated oak and soft, approachable tannins. It drinks as a bold, structured red without losing that trademark Ros Ritchie elegance.

On the palate it is medium to full‑bodied, with ripe black fruits, a hint of cocoa and gently smoky oak flowing into a rounded, fleshy mid‑palate. Fine tannins give just enough grip to keep it serious while still very drinkable young.

This is spot‑on with grilled rib‑eye, lamb cutlets, slow‑cooked beef cheeks or a hearty sausage cassoulet. It also pairs nicely with hard cheeses and a peppery charcuterie board for relaxed nights in.
