Crafted by 50-year veteran winemaker Peter Thompson, the Peter Thompson Coonawarra Shiraz 2019 is a bold and beautifully matured expression of cool-climate Shiraz. The 2019 vintage, rated 10/10 and declared perfect by James Halliday, offered exceptional conditions that allowed the fruit to achieve full flavour development with balanced natural acidity.

This wine displays powerful aromatics of blackberry pie, Chinese five spice, charry oak, and a subtle hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, it delivers intense black fruit flavours, cedar-like oak, and silky tannins, finishing with savoury spice and dark chocolate undertones. The extended time in tight-grained oak has contributed length and complexity without overpowering the rich fruit core.

This Shiraz is smooth, juicy, and built for longevity. Its natural acidity ensures graceful aging over time, while its immediate appeal makes it a versatile pairing option.

Perfectly suited to grilled ribeye steak, rosemary lamb shoulder, venison sausages, or pepper-crusted roast beef—the bold flavours and supple tannins of this wine complement rich cuts of red meat effortlessly.
