Lake Breeze Section 54 Shiraz 2023 from Langhorne Creek is a classic, full‑flavoured old‑vine Shiraz – rich, velvety and generous, but beautifully balanced, showing why this parcel has become such a benchmark for the region. Crafted from old vines, the 2023 Section 54 Shiraz offers a lifted floral bouquet with spice, dark berries and chocolate, backed by plush fruit weight, soft tannins and a long, smooth finish that’s brimming with life. It’s a ripe, full‑bodied wine that still feels composed and approachable, ideal for both immediate drinking and mid‑term cellaring.

Old‑vine fruit is fermented in small open fermenters, then matured in French oak for about 15 months to build texture, depth and savoury complexity. This combination of concentrated Langhorne Creek fruit and careful oak handling delivers a Section 54 Shiraz with generous fruit weight, chocolatey depth and soft yet structured tannins. The 2023 vintage has been particularly successful, with the wine recognised as Best Shiraz at the 2025 Langhorne Creek Wine Show, further underlining its quality.

On the table, Lake Breeze Section 54 Shiraz 2023 is tailor‑made for charcuterie boards, Sunday roasts, grilled steaks and hearty, slow‑cooked meat dishes – its dark fruit, spice and chocolate notes play perfectly with richness and savoury depth. It’s also a strong match for hard cheeses and BBQ fare, where its full body and velvety texture shine without feeling clumsy. Serve it around 16–18°C so the aromatics and structure can show their best.
