Alkina Estate Shiraz 2024
DOZEN: $615.60 or $51.30 each
This is another stunning example of the new wave of the Barossa. Wines like this are winning people back. This wine – grown organically – was matured in concrete, and old foudre, and a concrete amphora. Most of it in truth went into concrete and there are no signs of oak in flavour terms.
It’s pure, stemmy, complex, peppery and beautifully well fruited. It’s got stuff going on. Black cherries, plums, nuts, twigs, herbs and spices, but the power of the fruit and the in-built velvet of its texture wins the day. The lack of alcohol warmth here is really quite noticeable. It can be done. It has been done. This is a champion wine from Alkina. CAMPBELL MATTINSON
