Ravensworth Regional Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 2023 from Canberra opens with a lifted, savoury intensity drawn from the cool, elevated slopes of the Canberra region, shaped by winemaker Bryan Martin with a focus on perfume and finesse. This Ravensworth Regional Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 2023 Canberra release is a compelling buy for those who want a structured, medium‑bodied red with real complexity and age‑ready grip.

On the nose there is black cherry, wild blueberry and dried plum layered with white pepper, bay leaf and a hint of iron‑rich earth, framed by fine‑grained tannins and bright acidity. The palate is medium‑bodied yet layered, with a long, mineral‑driven finish that rewards contemplative, slow sipping rather than casual quaffing.

Serve with slow‑braised lamb shoulder, grilled lamb cutlets or rich mushroom pastas, best enjoyed at a relaxed weekend dinner with friends. Buy a bottle now for tonight’s meal and add another to the cellar to enjoy its evolving complexity over the next five to ten years.
