Water Wheel Memsie Homestead Shiraz

Water Wheel Memsie Homestead Shiraz 2022 from Bendigo is a warm-hearted, fruit-forward Central Victorian Shiraz with plenty of ripe red berry flavour, spice and a smooth, easy-drinking feel. It sits in the sweet spot between generosity and balance, which makes it such a reliable regional red.

Expect bright red fruits, raspberry, plum, cedar and gentle spice, with sweet oak and soft tannins giving the wine a rounded, approachable shape. The 2021 vintage was praised as flavourful and well-priced, and the 2022 release follows that same classic Bendigo style with forward fruit and a polished finish.

It is a great match for sausages, roast lamb, burgers or tomato-based pasta, where its fruit and gentle oak can really settle in. This is the kind of Shiraz that delivers plenty of charm without demanding too much, making it an easy crowd-pleaser for midweek dinners and casual entertaining.
