Credaro Kinship Shiraz 2023 from Credaro Family Estate in Margaret River is a deeply coloured, modern West Australian shiraz that oozes dark fruit, spice and polish from the first swirl. This 2023 Credaro Kinship Shiraz layers richness and structure in a way that feels both generous and finely judged, perfect for lovers of plush yet savoury reds.

In the glass you’ll see deep purple–red hues with lifted mulberry, blueberry and dark plum, backed by violet, cocoa, liquorice and a ripple of sweet baking spice. The palate is full–bodied and fruit–forward yet nicely savoury through the mid–palate, with ripe black fruits, hints of earth and pepper, and a line of fine, velvety tannins carrying a long, flavoursome finish. It’s rich without being clumsy, a seriously drinkable Margaret River shiraz that still has the bones to age a few years.

On the table, this is magic with grilled rib–eye, peppered kangaroo, slow–cooked lamb shoulder or hearty beef cheeks, where that dark fruit and spice really come into their own. It’ll also sit beautifully alongside gourmet sausages on the barbie, mushroom and thyme pies or a sharp vintage cheddar, making it a cracking choice for both Sunday roasts and casual backyard dinners.
