Sherrah Wines Shiraz 2023 from McLaren Vale is a full‑flavoured, dark‑fruited red with classic Aussie Shiraz swagger – generous, spicy and properly structured. Built in the same medium‑to‑full style as the much‑loved 2022, it bridges old‑school depth with new‑school freshness and drinkability. Sherrah Shiraz 2023 is very much a modern Vale Shiraz that still knows how to flex.

Expect aromas of blackberry, black plum and dark cherry, layered with cracked pepper, cocoa, a little smoked meat and dried herbs from quality French oak maturation. The palate is medium to full‑bodied and plush, with ripe black fruits, chocolate and spice carried by fresh acidity and firm but nicely knit tannins that promise a few years’ development without making it too serious for drinking now. It is bold yet balanced, with a satisfying, savoury finish.

Food‑wise, Sherrah Wines Shiraz 2023 is a natural partner for grilled ribeye, lamb chops, slow‑cooked beef brisket or a rich beef and mushroom pie. It will also shine with barbecued sausages, char‑grilled portobello mushrooms or a hunk of aged cheddar, where its dark fruit, spice and tannin structure stand up beautifully to smoky, salty flavours.
