The Alexander Cameron Limestone Coast Shiraz 2022 is a bold, opulent expression of Shiraz that captures the power and richness of the Limestone Coast region. The fruit for this wine was picked at optimum ripeness and immediately crushed to ensure the best extraction of colour and flavour. After fermentation on skins for 10-12 days, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrels and was aged for 12 months, allowing it to develop its depth and complexity.
In the glass, this Shiraz presents as a deep, dark black with a crimson edge, indicating its intensity and richness. The nose is dominated by ripe black berry characters, with hints of chocolate, alcohol, and plums, creating a powerful and inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine is fleshy and fruit-driven, with ripe dark berries upfront, complemented by licorice, chocolate, and alcohol notes interwoven across the palate. The wine's fine tannins linger on the finish, providing a smooth and structured end.
The Alexander Cameron Limestone Coast Shiraz 2022 has received strong praise, including a 93-point rating from Sam Kim at Wine Orbit, 92 points from Wine Showcase Magazine, and 90 points along with an Award at the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge. These accolades highlight the wine’s exceptional quality and its ability to represent the full expression of the Limestone Coast terroir.
This Shiraz is a fantastic choice for pairing with grilled meats, roast lamb, or hearty stews. Its rich fruit flavours and structure also make it an excellent wine for aging, allowing the complexity of the wine to evolve further. Whether enjoyed now or cellared, the Alexander Cameron Limestone Coast Shiraz 2022 promises to deliver a remarkable and memorable drinking experience.
93 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Upfront and beautifully fruited, showing dark berry, hazelnut, clove and warm spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate that's supple and flavoursome. This is fruit forward and brightly expressed with a lingering silky finish, making it fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2034. $35.00."
