MOPPITY VINEYARDS RESERVE SHIRAZ

"This is an excellent follow-up to the break-through 2006.

It’s not a blockbuster, but it is an excellent wine. It’s fine and elegant and yet full of ripeness, with flavours of cherry-plums, spearmint, fennel and chocolate flecked with five-spice complexity. It tastes different. And silken. And remarkably good. Apart from the texture, what I really like about Moppity shiraz is the natural sense of complexity … it’s no mean thing. 94/100" ~ Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront

"Deep purple colour; blue and black fruits are complemented by a gently spicy personality; a touch of mint comes through on the palate, and the fruit is dark and generous; quite firm, but with a succulent nature to the finish. Screwcap. 93/100" ~ James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion
