William Frederick Shiraz 2021

Blackberry. Pepper. Composed.

The William Frederick Shiraz 2021 is a bold yet composed Eden Valley Shiraz that balances power with clarity — a wine shaped by cool-climate elevation and careful winemaking rather than excess.

This vintage showcases the varietal's darker, savoury side, delivering depth and texture while retaining freshness and precision. It's a confident Shiraz that feels equally at home on the dinner table or resting in the cellar.

Aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum unfold alongside hints of cracked pepper, clove, and subtle oak. The palate is generous and structured, with layered fruit, fine-grain tannins, and a long, warming finish.

Enjoy now with a brief decant, or cellar for 15–20 years as the wine develops further complexity and spice.

Perfect With

Grilled meats, slow-cooked beef, lamb shoulder, or rich vegetarian dishes like roasted eggplant and mushrooms.

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Dense, intense and complex — savoury and spicy with a volley of violet spring blossom florals.

Palate
Dominated by a big, velvety pillow of fruit masking substantial foundations of superb tannins. A big but eloquent depth charge of high-country Shiraz.
