The 2020 vintage Siblings Shiraz from Leeuwin Estate of Margaret River has a dense and dark nose, with concentrated blackcurrant, redcurrant, and blueberries. Beneath therein lies layers cocoa, cola and gentle smoky oak. Elevated notes of violets, Szechuan pepper, tobacco, anise and clove are also present. The palate is light on its feet, bright and buoyant. The frame of the palate is centred on a black fruit core, combined with cardamom, chocolate and cracked coffee bean. Laced acidity gives definition and drive, leading to structural tannins.
"Maybe it’s the juiciness or the savoury nuances interspersed with plump fruit, or maybe it’s simply a delicious, well-composed drink. Well, it’s all that and more. Fuller bodied but not weighty with ripe, grainy tannins and lots of appeal – including value.” 92 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday's Wine Companion, 27th June 2023
The Siblings Shiraz from Leeuwin Estate has juicy and concentrated aromas packed with plums, cherries and forest fruits. Black cardamom, star anise cedar, cinnamon and nutmeg add extra detail and complexity. Soft and supple entry on the palate with blueberries and raspberries at the forefront. Delicate weight through the middle with some savoury notes and quartz like acidity leads a structure chalky finish.
