The K1 Shiraz offers vibrant aromas of cool climate berries and spice. The palate is tight, concentrated and complex with notes of plums and cherries.
The K1 Shiraz reflects the generosity of the K1 vineyard ‘terroir’ on the Shiraz variety. Spring and summer were cooler than normal with above average rainfall and the 2017 vintage happened much later than usual. The combination of those factors and dry weather for most of the harvest resulted in higher yields and excellent quality across regions. 30% new French oak for 18 months.
95 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion
"80% hand-picked, 20% hand-picked for whole bunch inclusion plus a small percentage of viognier co-fermented, matured in French oak (15% new) for 18 months. Very fragrant, on the light side of medium-bodied, excellent balance and length. My personal prejudice at work here."
94 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Youthfully charming and perfumed, the bouquet shows blackberry, sweet plum, violet, olive and spicy oak characters, followed by a beautifully weighted palate that’s succulent and wonderfully flowing. The wine offers terrific fruit purity together with elegant complexity, leading to a lengthy delectable finish. At its best: now to 2027\"
