Voyager’s Shiraz has been going from strength to strength and this example is another leap forward. Sourced from select parcels from four Shiraz blocks, it offers the understated elegance of the Voyager style: bright and juicy, underlaid with earth and spice.


Hand-harvested grapes were destemmed then fermented as whole berries in a combination of open and closed fermenters, with gentle hand-plunging and pump-overs. Following ferment, the wines were pressed, transferred to barrel and matured in quality oak (34% of which was new). Maturation was for 12 months (racked periodically to aid clarification). The parcels were then blended prior to bottling in June 2019.

Reviews

"Lots of black pepper, ripe plums and wet earth on the nose. Smooth and creamy texture with velvety and viscous tannins. Full-bodied, deep and complex, offering an elegant and soft mouth feel with a spicy touch to it. Long, rich finish. Sustainable. Drink or hold."

"For some (not myself) the jury is still out in deciding just how far Margaret River shiraz has still to travel before drawing the proverbial line in the sand. Yes, it's more elegant, and arguably less complex than cabernet or cabernet with little tricks in the wrapping of its parcel. But is that a bad thing? The answer is emphatically no for this whole berry-vinified wine that spent 15 days on skins, then 12 months in 34% new oak. Its savoury characters are, quite simply, brilliant."
