Michael Shiraz is Wynns Coonawarra Estate’s best-of-vintage Shiraz. The fruit used for this wine comes from the best vineyard sites in Coonawarra and is only made in years when the best quality fruit is available. The first Michael (then called Michael Hermitage) was a one-off from the 1955 vintage, made after proprietor David Wynn noticed the outstanding quality of the wine from two particular barrels and ordered them to be bottled separately. Named after David Wynn’s young son, this is a legendary Australian wine.
Opaque purple colour, bright and saturated, the bouquet superripe and essency, with sweet blackberry joined by licorice and melted dark chocolate aromas more like we'd expect from the Barossa than Coonawarra. A powerful, concentrated and plush shiraz that will reward long term cellaring, although it's supple enough to enjoy young. Mightily impressive shiraz. Rating: 98 Points; Huon Hooke
