Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Shiraz

Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Shiraz 2021 from Plantagenet Wines in Mount Barker, Great Southern, is a big, bold cool‑climate shiraz that still keeps its shape – plush, dark and savoury with real class. The 2021 Wyjup Collection Shiraz opens with brambly black fruit and dark plum, blackberry, mocha, game meat, clove and pencil shavings, plus a subtle iron‑filing, graphite minerality. Aromas of roast meat add extra depth without making it heavy or rustic.

On the palate, Wyjup Shiraz 2021 is plush yet taut, offering dark berry fruit layered with black olive, fresh thyme and graphite over firm, ripe, fine‑boned tannins. It’s rich, intense and vibrant rather than syrupy, with French oak complexity and a long, dry, savoury finish that fits its “rich and intense” cool‑climate shiraz style. Sitting comfortably in the 90–95 point band, it’s clearly positioned as a serious Great Southern shiraz with genuine aging potential.

Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Shiraz 2021 is made for beef and venison – think ribeye, short ribs, venison pie – as well as lamb shanks, smoky BBQ and roasted mushrooms, where its dark fruit, mocha and game notes can really wrap around the meat and char. With its combination of plush fruit, spice and savoury complexity, Wyjup Shiraz 2021 is a top pick for drinkers chasing structured, cool‑climate WA shiraz for both the table and the cellar.
