Windowrie Eyechart Shiraz 2024 from Windowrie in Cowra’s Central Ranges is a certified organic, preservative‑free red that shows off vivid colour, juicy fruit and a playful, modern edge, while still reading as proper Shiraz in the glass. This Eyechart Shiraz 2024 is made for vibrant, early drinking with zero compromise on flavour.

In the glass it’s a distinctive deep purple, bursting with ripe blue and black fruits – think blueberry, blackberry and juicy raspberry – lifted by pepper, clove and vanilla spice. The palate is full‑bodied yet ultra‑supple, with those trademark blueberry‑muffin characters, dark cherry and plum wrapped in soft, friendly tannins and no added sulphur. The bright fruit gives a perception of sweetness even though the wine is technically dry, making it incredibly moreish.

Food‑wise, Windowrie Eyechart Shiraz 2024 is spot‑on with burgers, snags on the barbie, sticky BBQ ribs or a loaded meat‑lover’s pizza where that juicy fruit really sings. It will also work a treat with char‑grilled veg, smoky eggplant, mushroom skewers or a hunk of cheddar if you’re keeping things simple. Serve it just a touch cool and it’s an excellent option for anyone chasing a preservative‑free, easygoing red.
