Audrey Wilkinson Shiraz 2023 from the Hunter Valley is a plush, medium‑bodied Shiraz that pours deep red with violet hues and immediately lifts with ripe red cherry and plum, touched by floral notes and gentle savoury spice. It is very much in that supple, red‑fruited Hunter style rather than a heavy Barossa bruiser, making it approachable from the first pour.

On the palate, Audrey Wilkinson Shiraz 2023 is medium bodied, smooth and well balanced, with flavours of cherries, ripe plums and a hint of raspberry wrapped in nutmeg, peppery spice and savoury oak. Soft, fine tannins add structure without grip, so it feels plush, rounded and easy to drink, while still having enough backbone to handle food and a few years in the cellar.

For food, Audrey Wilkinson Shiraz 2023 is a natural with grilled lamb chops, snags on the barbie, roast beef or a classic steak and chips, where its red fruit and spice work beautifully with char and fat. It is also spot on with pizza, hearty pasta or a good cheddar, making Audrey Wilkinson Shiraz 2023 a versatile, crowd‑pleasing Hunter red for everything from Friday‑night takeaway to relaxed Sunday roasts.
