Mitchell Harris Pyrenees Shiraz 2022 from the Peerick Vineyard in Victoria’s Pyrenees is a vibrant, medium‑bodied Shiraz that balances dark fruit power with floral perfume and a savoury, cool‑climate edge. This 2022 Mitchell Harris Shiraz sees 25% whole bunch, a touch of Viognier co‑ferment and wild yeast, then 18 months in seasoned French oak to build complexity without heaviness. It’s an elegant, modern Pyrenees red built for both immediate drinking and a solid decade in the cellar.

In the glass, expect a deep, youthful crimson and aromatics of blackberry, mulberry and dark cherry wrapped in violets, lifted florals, black spice and a little whole‑bunch stemminess. The palate runs in that medium‑weighted zone – concentrated red and blue fruits, a lick of pepper and savoury spice, all framed by fine, powdery tannins and bright acidity. Oak sits in the background, adding a gentle, toasty, savoury edge that lengthens the finish without crowding the fruit.

Mitchell Harris Pyrenees Shiraz 2022 is a natural partner for grilled lamb chops, rib‑eye, beef skewers or a rich sausage pasta, where its structure and acidity cut through the fat. It will also shine with roast beetroot, charred vegetables, mushroom dishes and firm cheeses. If you’re chasing a cool‑climate Victorian Shiraz that’s fragrant, food‑friendly and finely tuned rather than hulking and jammy, Mitchell Harris Pyrenees Shiraz 2022 is a cracking option at the price.
