Product Description
Winery Overview
In the quiet beauty of Western Australia’s Great Southern region, Mount Barker is known for producing wines with depth, elegance and character. This 2021 Shiraz from Terra Riche’s Southern Navigator range reflects just that. Guided by winemakers Luke Eckersley and Coby Ladwig, it’s a wine that brings together fruit purity, gentle structure and a thoughtful approach to winemaking.
Vintage Conditions
The 2021 season began with a wet winter that refreshed the soils and supported healthy vine growth. A warm, dry summer followed, extending into a long, mild autumn. This slow ripening helped the Shiraz grapes build rich flavour and colour, while keeping their natural balance and finesse.
Winemaking Process
After harvest, the fruit was crushed and cold soaked to draw out flavour and aromatics. It was then wild fermented in small open fermenters, with gentle pump-overs twice a day. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed and moved to French oak barrels, including a mix of new and seasoned oak. Over 15 months, it matured quietly, with malolactic fermentation happening in the barrel to soften the tannins and build texture.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson in the glass with a subtle brick red edge, this Shiraz opens with inviting aromas of dark berries, cherry and warm spice. On the palate, it’s full and rounded, with layers of blackcurrant, gentle oak spice and a fine tannin line that brings everything together. It’s a balanced, expressive wine with a polished finish and plenty of presence.
Food Pairings
A natural fit for richer meals—this Shiraz shines with slow-cooked meats, grilled vegetables, roast lamb or beef, and dishes with smoky or spiced flavours. It also pairs well with hard cheeses and savoury tarts, making it a versatile addition to the table.
