Thompson Steer Coonawarra Shiraz 2022 Dozen

The Thompson Steer Coonawarra Shiraz 2022 showcases the richness and elegance that has made the region famous, crafted by a trophy-winning winemaker and admired for its expressive depth and refinement. The wine opens with vibrancy, delivering dark fruits intertwined with rich red-berry concentrates, lifted by a fine thread of pepper spice and subtle, well-judged oak. Supported by polished tannins, the palate reveals a layered, harmonious structure that lingers with satisfying length. Its poise and complexity helped earn 95 Points and 5 Stars from Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, who praised it as “beautifully composed and engaging,” reinforcing the pedigree and confidence of this standout Coonawarra release.The style is perfectly suited to food pairings that enhance its depth—think chargrilled lamb cutlets with rosemary, slow-cooked beef ragu, gourmet wood-fired pizza, mushroom risotto, venison sausages, hard cheeses or a platter of cured meats with cracked pepper and olives. The wine drinks beautifully now for its plush fruit and supple tannins, yet has the structure to evolve gracefully over the coming years.
