Description The Trophy-winning 100pt The Taylors Heritage Label Clare Valley Shiraz 2022 was crowned ‘International Champion’ at the 20th annual VINUS International Wine & Spirits Competition. At the same competition it was also awarded 'Australia's Best Wine' and 'Top 10 VINUS 2023'. This incredible Shiraz was judged against 580 wines from 15 countries to be considered the world’s best. Lifted aromas of plum, blackcurrant and dark cherry with a subtle undertone of mocha and spice. The palate is plump and generous, with ripe blackberry and plum characters. Mocha and coffee notes balance the dense fruit flavours, with fleshy, supple tannins rounding out the long finish. “This is such exciting news for our winery - not only have we taken out a major trophy for our wine, but the judges deemed it to be worthy of 100 points. It’s phenomenal” (Mitchell Taylor, Third-Generation Winemaker and Managing Director).
