Macquariedale Organic Wines Thomas Shiraz 2023 from the Hunter Valley will closely follow the 2022 style – a seriously enticing single‑vineyard, organically grown Shiraz that focuses on vibrant fruit purity, fine spice and classic medium‑bodied Hunter elegance.

Macquariedale Thomas Shiraz typically shows a ripe berry bouquet with red and black berries, hints of ripe plum, white pepper and gentle baking spice, with subtle French oak adding cedar rather than heavy toast. A cool growing season and careful basket‑pressing into French hogsheads give high natural acidity and delicate, silky tannins, so the palate feels bright, juicy and moreish rather than thick or jammy, finishing with a lingering spicy snap.

This Thomas Shiraz style is spot‑on with chargrilled lamb, roast duck, peppered sausages, venison or mushroom‑based dishes, where its medium body, white‑pepper lift and savoury frame dovetail beautifully with rich, earthy flavours. It’s vegan‑friendly, certified organic/biodynamic and designed to gather extra complexity over the next decade in cellar.
