The Normans Holbrooks Road Shiraz 2022 is a bold and approachable South Australian Shiraz that delivers outstanding value while continuing the legacy of one of Australia’s oldest wine families. Crafted by Normans Wines, established in 1853 and recognised as an international trophy-winning producer, this release showcases classic varietal character with generous fruit and smooth structure.

In the glass, it reveals a bright purple hue, opening with aromas of ripe berry, plum and signature Shiraz spice and pepper. The palate is rich and smooth, offering layers of blackberry and plum supported by subtle vanillin oak. Silky tannins and a medium to full-bodied structure create a balanced and satisfying finish, enhanced by gentle toasty oak notes that add depth and complexity. Awarded 91 points by Wine Showcase Magazine, it follows a previous vintage that achieved 94 points and a Gold Medal, reinforcing its consistent quality.

Versatile and food-friendly, this Shiraz pairs beautifully with slow-cooked beef ragu, grilled lamb chops, barbecue dishes or a mature cheddar board, while also complementing vegetable-based meals such as lasagna or grilled vegetables, making it ideal for both everyday enjoyment and entertaining.
