"Three different parcels of young- and old-vine shiraz fruit in the blend, 85% whole bunches, fermented in concrete tulips (P14 went into foudre) and matured for six months before blending. A wonderful, cohesive wine, plush with ripe plum and blackberry fruits yet savoury, layered with spice, blossom and earthen tones, tannins like powdered sand and a crystalline mineral cadence tempering the fruit. Seems very comfortable in its own skin, and it IS delicious." ~93 Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

"The 2023 Kin Shiraz comes almost entirely from Block 23 in the estate vineyard. The block is very rocky with great variation, and it sits atop a ridge. The parcels range from 70% - 100% whole clusters. 'We are pretty committed to whole bunch,' says Amelia Nolan. This was matured entirely in concrete vessels (six new tulips in time for the 2023 vintage!). The wine is energetic and fresh, powdery textured, gently grippy and fine. It's a lovely wine, pure, driven by clarity. I like it!" ~92 Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"Barossan shiraz playing a cool-Luke hand, exuding notes of dried kelp, blueberry, green olive and mace. The suite of 23s is lighter and bit more astringent than the preceding two vintages, the tannins lilting toward a greener edge across the finish. This said, the drinkability quotient is high. Drink or hold." ~91 James Suckling
