100% whole-berry wild ferment, matured for 13 months in seasoned oak. New to the Filius family, the shiraz bursts onto the scene from a vintage that birthed effortless, delicious, gorgeous wines. Shiraz in particular was outstanding in ‘21. This is structured and spicy, but it is also supple, pliable and super-juicy: a bounty of red and pink fruits are overlaid with careful winemaking detail, all of it laced together with fine tannins. Powdery and beautiful. Yes!

Margaret River can be a good hunting ground for Shiraz drinkers looking for more subtle but still full flavoured red wines without quite the kick seen in many South Australian examples. The Filius Shiraz from 2020 certainly delivers that with its quite deep colour which is amply supported by fleshy blackberry, cola, clove and black pepper spices. There is good mouthfilling richness and levels of flavour to follow, particularly blackberry and mulberry, in a mid-weight package. There is also attractive balancing tannins underneath which will provide good support for the next five years. Enjoy with seared lamb backstraps.

The fruit flavours are in the boysenberry, red cherry and redcurrant range though there’s also a slightly bitter or at least twig-like streak, well masked by the juiciness of the fruit.

Highly Rated Gabrielle Poy, THe Real Review
Aromas of cured-meat, vanilla and raspberries lead into a core of fruit supported by a savoury edge. Inky tannins frame the fruit and enable the wine to flow across the palate. This is a well-priced wine that offers a nice level of complexity for this price point
