Tasting Notes:

The John Duval Plexus Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 2022 is a beautifully crafted Barossa Valley GSM from legendary winemaker John Duval, former Penfolds Grange Chief Winemaker. Sourced from premium old vineyards across Krondorf, Marananga, Ebenezer, Tanunda, Moppa and Light Pass, this classic Rhône-inspired blend combines 43% Shiraz, 41% Grenache and 16% Mourvèdre. The outstanding 2022 vintage delivered vibrant fruit, bright natural acidity and exceptional balance, producing a wine of remarkable elegance and complexity.


Each variety was fermented separately, with a portion of the Grenache including whole bunches to enhance savoury complexity. The wines were matured for 15 months in French oak, including 10% new fine-grain hogsheads, before the final blend was assembled. Lifted aromas of red and black berries are complemented by cinnamon, savoury spice and subtle oak. The palate is generous yet refined, showcasing vibrant dark fruit, layers of spice, fine tannins and fresh acidity, finishing long, balanced and beautifully pure.


Awarded 95 Points by Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion), 95 Points by Andrew Caillard (The Vintage Journal) and 94 Points by Gary Walsh (The Wine Front), the John Duval Plexus Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre 2022 is a superb partner for roast lamb, grilled meats, slow-cooked beef, game dishes and mature cheeses. An exceptional GSM that reflects the expertise of one of Australia's most celebrated winemakers.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion
"This year's Plexus release sees a blend of shiraz (43%), grenache (41%) and mourvèdre (16%) from across a number of the parishes of the Barossa. Lovely dark plum and boysenberry fruits with hints of cherry clafoutis, dark chocolate, roasting meats, clover blossom, softly spoken cedar and vanillin and earth. Supple and pure with fine gravelly tannins and a minerally cadence showing plum, spice and mocha tones at the tail."


95 Point Rated Andrew Caillard - The Vintage Journal Barossa Wine Guide 2024
"Deep crimson. Intense musky plum, dark cherry aromas with lifted floral notes. Smooth and velvety wine with abundant musky dark plummy, dark cherry fruits, grainy textures and integrated roasted walnut, mocha notes. Lovely density and vigour. Drink now–2030."


94 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front
"Blackberry, dark cherry, cocoa, baking spices, freshly lathed wood, something a little exotic in the mix too with its discreet incense-like perfume. It’s medium to full-bodied, plush and fleshy, with grainy dark chocolate tannin, and a rich plummy finish of excellent length and powdery grip. Balanced with flavour, is how I’d sum it up. Just over the line for 94 points, I reckon."


93 Point Rated - Angus Hughson Vinous
"The delightful 2022 Plexus, a blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre, has superb fruit purity. While starting a little shy, it builds momentum with time. Old leather and roasted spices and meats begin before plummy richness builds and offers strong support. This is elegance personified, and it has a lovely lightness of touch throughout, although with solid tannins in support. It will age well in a bottle."


91 Point Rated - Gabrielle Poy The Real Review
"Vanilla, roasted plums and a whiff of barbecue char on the nose. Rich and ripe flavours of berry compote and sweet spices saturate the core. Framing tannins provide structure and bring balance to the dense fruit core. A full-bodied red with structure and freshness that will age well."
