One of Australia’s most humble and innately talented winemakers, Luke Lambert consistently produces a stunning array of Yarra Valley wines. Lambert believes "the shape of a wine should be governed by what soil you’re on, the aspect, the amount of sunshine and rain." In other words, the personality of a wine will be dictated by its "place". We're delighted to welcome this highly anticipated 2024 Lambert Crudo Shiraz; a cool-climate Shiraz that always attracts plenty of attention. Showcasing all the youthful and vibrant charm we have come to expect from a Lambert Shiraz, this is a high-toned, captivating, layered Shiraz, svelte and silky in weight with deep dark fruits mingled with spicy pepper notes and earthy complexity. "93 Points. Lots of black olive, salted liquorice, dried seaweed, smoked paprika, a touch of game meat, some garam masala spice and then, yes, then, the black plum, dark cherry, dashes of cola. A swirl of tannin through the palate, gently grippy, some light-smoky minerality shot through. A bit of plushness, very dark and brooding, but also a clean, cool finish. Warming drinking, charming drinking. Savoury syrah here we go. Tasted: JUL25. 14% alc. $33 Closure: Diam Drink: 2025 - 2032"- Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.
