Dark plum and black cherry open with savoury spice and a braided hint of eucalyptus – the fruit is pure Geelong expression from Lethbridge, and Indra Shiraz 2018 from Geelong carries the maker’s confident stamp of oak integration and terroir clarity. This Lethbridge Indra Shiraz 2018 feels built and ready.

On the palate, plush black fruits, crushed pepper, cedar and dark chocolate coil around firm, velvety tannins and bright, mineral-tinged acidity – mid-palate energy keeps the wine focused while a long, spicy finish nods to careful élevage. Texture is generous yet disciplined, rewarding air and gentle decanting.

Match with charred rib-eye, smoked lamb or mushroom ragù at a relaxed, table-side barbecue or polished bistro setting; the wine lifts robust flavours without dominating them. Purchase with confidence for cellar potential or near-term celebration – a versatile, regionally expressive Shiraz.
