Wild Duck Creek Springflat Shiraz 2021

An excellent shiraz from the winery that put Heathcote on the international stage!
The voluptuously rich palate is awash with ripe  blackberry, black plum, liquorice and black cherry flavours that sit confidently over a backdrop of lightly smoked vanillin cedar and spicy pepper. Outstanding power with a long liquorice, ripe black cherry, blackberry, dark plum, smoky vanillin cedar and spicy pepper aftertaste.

"Wild Duck Creek Estate is one of those cult wineries in Australia, based outside of Melbourne, that achieved much of its acclaim due to a mixture of excellent winemaking techniques (vinification is entirely effected through manual pressing), a winemaker with a keen sense of what good wine is (David knows and deeply loves his vines), and of course, that Robert Parker 99-pointer for their flagship "Duck Muck" in the '97 vintage." -Jamus Jerome Lim
