2023 Forest Hill Vineyard Estate Shiraz

Forest Hill's Estate Shiraz has quietly become one of the best-value cool climate reds in the country. It comes from some of the oldest vines in WA’s Great Southern – dry-grown, low-yielding blocks that deliver serious fruit without any need for overworking.

The 2023 sticks to the brief: bright, spicy and savoury, with a clear sense of place. There's polish to the winemaking, but it’s not trying to be flashy. The fruit does the talking, with just enough oak to shape it and a gentle hand in the winery to keep things fresh.

It’s the kind of Shiraz that’ll appeal to both old-school and new-school drinkers – mid-weight, quietly complex, and genuinely great drinking for the price.
