94 Points - Campbell Mattinson The Chockstone wines are made by AT Richardson; who have established themselves as one of the star winemakers of Victoria's famed Grampians wine regions. The region's suitability to the varieties, it's no surprise Riesling and Shiraz are always the standouts among the Chockstone wines. The 2022 Chockstone Grampians Shiraz is another stunning Grampians Shiraz loaded with intense blackberry and chocolate flavours combined with black pepper, subtle spice and a soft, velvety mouthfeel. A delicious Grampians Shiraz that delivers sensational value for money drinking. "94 Points. This is a lovely wine, true to its grape and true to its region. It's peppery and smoky and twiggy and savoury, but it's bursting with blueberry and cherry-plum fruit too, and it keeps going all the way through to a sustained finish. Cedarwood oak has been expertly applied here - not too much, just enough. Some warmth to the finish is the only minor distraction. Otherwise, this wine is full of peppery, smoky, berried goodness. $28. 14.5% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2032."- Campbell Mattinson, winecompanion.com.au.
