Leura Park Estate Shiraz 2022 from the Bellarine Peninsula is an elegant cool‑climate Shiraz, medium‑bodied with real structure, dark fruit purity and that signature maritime freshness that keeps every sip in check rather than heavy. It follows the highly rated 2021 house style – 100% estate‑grown, predominantly hand picked, fermented in small batches and matured in quality French oak to build detail and polish.

In the glass, you can expect aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant and plum layered with black pepper, spice, fennel and a hint of sage, liquorice and dark chocolate. The palate is supple and savoury, revealing dark berries, plum, spice, white and black pepper and dark‑chocolate tones, wrapped in silky, graceful tannins and a long, gently warming finish. It is compelling now, but that structure means the 2022 Leura Park Estate Shiraz will build even more complexity with a few years in the cellar.

Food‑wise, Leura Park Estate Shiraz 2022 is made for cool‑weather comfort – think beef and Shiraz pie, slow‑cooked lamb shanks, grilled steaks, venison, rich sausages or mushroom and thyme ragù. It also pairs beautifully with hard cheeses and charcuterie, where its medium body, spice and fine tannins give plenty of flavour without overpowering the plate, making it a versatile Bellarine red for Sunday roasts and hearty bistro‑style fare.
