Woolpunda South Australia Shiraz 2022

Product Description

Winery Overview

Woolpunda Shiraz is part of the Woolpunda range produced by Byrne Vineyards, a South Australian wine producer known for crafting approachable, well-balanced wines that reflect the region’s terroir and agricultural heritage. Byrne Vineyards combines traditional viticulture with contemporary winemaking to deliver wines that express regional character and fruit purity.

Region & Vintage Conditions

Hailing from South Australia, the 2022 vintage benefited from favourable conditions that encouraged full flavour development and balanced ripeness. The dry climate and warm days helped intensify fruit expression, while cooler nights preserved structural freshness typical of Shiraz from this region.

Winemaking Techniques

Careful selection of ripe Shiraz fruit ensured bold varietal character. Fermentation and maturation were managed to preserve the wine’s fruit intensity while allowing gentle oak influences to add complexity. This approach results in a medium-bodied wine with integrated tannins and layered flavour.
