Glaetzer-Dixon Mon Père Shiraz 2022 from Tasmania’s Coal River and Upper Derwent valleys is an elegant, cool‑climate Shiraz that marries fragrant spice with deep, dark fruit in a style that nods more to Northern Rhône Syrah than blockbuster Aussie shiraz.

The nose is packed with red berry, cassis and raspberry alongside white pepper, bacon fat, fennel and black olive tapenade, leading to a palate of rich red and black fruit compote with juicy acidity, satiny texture and supple tannins that fan out beautifully through the finish.

On the table, Glaetzer-Dixon Mon Père Shiraz 2022 is a brilliant match with chargrilled lamb, peppered steak, slow‑cooked beef, venison, game birds and hard cheeses, and with its structure and balance it will drink well now and cellar comfortably for 2–20+ years.
