Lake Breeze Winemaker's Selection Shiraz

Lake Breeze Winemaker’s Selection Shiraz 2022 from Lake Breeze Wines in Langhorne Creek is a classic, rich, velvety Shiraz drawn from some of the estate’s oldest vines, bottled only in standout seasons. It opens with an uplifting nose of blackberry, aniseed and dark chocolate, framed by hints of vanilla and subtle cedar that immediately feel luxurious and composed. This is very much the flagship expression of Langhorne Creek Shiraz – powerful, deeply fruited and supremely satisfying.

On the palate, Winemaker’s Selection Shiraz 2022 is full‑bodied but beautifully balanced, showing concentrated dark berry and cocoa flavours wrapped in soft, fine‑grained tannins. There’s a line of lively acidity that keeps all that richness in check, so the wine stays fresh and moreish rather than heavy. The finish is long and velvety, with spice and chocolate notes lingering, making each glass feel like a proper treat.

Lake Breeze Winemaker’s Selection Shiraz 2022 is tailor‑made for serious red‑meat occasions – think rib‑eye, slow‑cooked beef cheeks or venison – and sits just as comfortably alongside lamb shoulder or aged hard cheeses. It’s a small‑batch, cellar‑worthy red that will happily evolve for more than a decade, but already delivers everything you want from an old‑vine Langhorne Creek Shiraz: generosity, polish and real depth of flavour.
