Fallen Giants 'Serra Range' Shiraz 2022

"Originally planted in '69, the (now) Fallen Giants Vineyard had once been part of Mount Langi Ghiran, before it was bought by the late Trevor Mast. Following his death, it was purchased by siblings Aaron and Rebecca Drummond and renamed Fallen Giants in '13. The name takes its meaning from the local Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali peoples and references the creation of Halls Gap. The Drummonds grew up on the Mornington Peninsula; Aaron went on to work for the Rathbone Wine Group, while Rebecca headed into the global financial market trade. Together, they work at making some of the better wines of the Grampians wine region." Halliday Wine Companion

"The flavour profile here is excellent, boasting forest berries and mint, undergrowth, hazelnut and woodsy spice notes. It's savoury and sweet at once, not to mention complex, and its general juiciness keeps it bounding through the palate in a highly enjoyable fashion. This is made to be consumed now, but there's no reason why this wouldn't mature well over at least the next handful of years." 92pts | Campbell Mattinson | Halliday Wine Companion

"Deep ruby-red colour. Lifted nose of mulberry, white pepper and river stone aromas. Medium to full bodied, slippery and gliding with red and purple fruits filling the core and many layers of white pepper, beef stock and anise. Tannins are fine and sandy, ensuring that slippery texture carries long to a fine and spicy, if slightly warming finish." 90pts | Stuart Knox | The Real Review
