Haddow + Dineen Crows Decended Shiraz 2022 from Tasmania is a wild‑edged, cool‑climate Shiraz sourced from one of the oldest vineyards in the Tamar Valley, hand‑picked, wild‑yeast barrel fermented, unfined and unfiltered for maximum character and texture.

In the glass it is more Syrah than blockbuster Aussie Shiraz – think dark cherry, blackberry and plum with black tea, pepper, spice and a distinctly savoury, Hermitage‑esque, Rhôney vibe, all carried on bright acidity and fine, sinewy tannins that keep it fragrant, long and food‑centric rather than heavy.

On the table Haddow + Dineen Crows Decended Shiraz 2022 is a superb match with chargrilled lamb, peppered steak, venison, game birds, mushroom dishes and hard cheeses, where its spice, earth and structure cut neatly through richness and fat while the cool‑climate fruit keeps everything poised.
