The 2021 Abbey Rock Coonawarra Shiraz is a vibrant expression of cool-climate winemaking from one of Australia's most prestigious regions. Hand-picked from older, low-yielding vines rooted in the iconic red soils of Coonawarra, the fruit is carefully fermented in small batches with extended skin contact to build richness and depth. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak, with meticulous barrel selection ensuring only the finest components are blended for the final bottling—completed with minimal fining and filtration to preserve purity.

Bright purple to crimson red in hue, this Shiraz delivers a vivid bouquet of blackberry, violet and floral lift, underpinned by savory undertones. The medium-bodied palate is rich and fruit-driven, showing notes of dark berries, cedar and nutmeg, with refined oak integration and a long finish supported by fine-grained tannins. Crafted to showcase the essence of Coonawarra terroir in its youth, this release is already showing superb harmony and potential.

Awarded 94 Points and a Gold Medal by Australian Wine Showcase Magazine, and following a 93 Point, 5 Star performance from Sam Kim in the previous vintage, this small-batch Shiraz is proof of Abbey Rock’s dedication to viticultural excellence.

An ideal partner for slow-cooked lamb, chargrilled eggplant, or truffled mushroom risotto.
