92 / 100"So far, so good with Wendouree in 2011. Old geezers done good. Bright red fruits, pretty and almost jammy, nobbly licorice allsorts, lots of spice, smoky autumn leaves. Medium bodied, a bit fleshy with chalky tannin and certainly it’s pretty fresh – strawberried acidity pushes it along – yet it’s balanced and pretty yum. Some grip on the finish. Should cellar well, but goes all right now."

Tasting Notes
Wendouree, one of Australia's most revered wineries. Established in 1893 in the Clare Valley, Wendouree is renowned for its commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and low-yield, dry-grown vineyards.
A blend of Shiraz and Mataro (Mourvèdre), creating a harmonious blend that highlights the best qualities of both varieties. The Shiraz brings bold fruit flavors and spice, while the Mataro adds depth, structure, and complexity to the wine.
