Shiraz

Dusty Duke sources fruit from South Eastern Australia's diverse vineyard regions, where cool maritime influences moderate ripening across premium Shiraz plantings. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation with extended maceration to develop color and tannin structure, followed by oak aging that adds subtle vanilla and spice complexity without overwhelming the fruit character.

This expression balances ripe dark berry aromatics with restrained oak influence, typical of quality Australian Shiraz designed for near-term drinking. The medium body and integrated tannins reflect careful extraction and oak management rather than over-extraction or excessive new wood.

Drink 2024–2028 for optimal fruit expression and tannin integration.
