Watson Family Single Vineyard Whole Bunch Shiraz

Watson Family Single Vineyard Whole Bunch Shiraz 2018 is a Margaret River red with a savoury, spice-led character. The Whole Bunch Shiraz style favours elegance over sheer weight, combining dark cherry fruit with gamey complexity and a supple, finely textured palate.

Dark cherry, pepper and woody spice mingle with savoury meat notes, giving the wine an expressive Syrah-like profile. Satiny texture brings softness through the middle, while fine, silty tannins provide definition and a refreshing finish. Available tasting information describes the Whole Bunch Shiraz without identifying the vintage, so these characters are a guide to the style rather than a confirmed assessment of the 2018 release.

Suggested pairings include roast lamb with rosemary, grilled duck breast or mushroom and lentil ragù. These earthy, savoury dishes would complement the wine’s peppery spice and game notes without overwhelming its elegant structure.
