Wynns Michael Shiraz

Aromatically enticing spiced plum and classic Coonawarra raspberries. A smooth, rich and complex palate infused with vibrant red fruits and framed with very fine silky tannins. The 2015 Michael epitomises a cooler style of Shiraz from a warmer year. Fruit is mediumbodied with red, fruits and a sophisticated, silky texture. The wine has genuine concentration with refinement.

Michael Shiraz is Wynns Coonawarra Estate’s best-of-vintage Shiraz. The fruit used for this wine comes from the best vineyard sites in Coonawarra and is only made in years when the best quality fruit is available. The first Michael (then called Michael Hermitage) was a one-off from the 1955 vintage, made after proprietor David Wynn noticed the outstanding quality of the wine from two particular barrels and ordered them to be bottled separately. Named after David Wynns' young son, this is a legendary Australian wine.

Since the first vineyards were planted by visionary Scottish pioneer John Riddoch in 1891, Wynns Coonawarra Estate has built a reputation as the Coonawarra region’s pre-eminent wine producer. With the longest-established vineyards in the region, Wynns’ history is deeply intertwined with Coonawarra. Over the past two decades, our vineyards have been meticulously rejuvenated, resulting in wines which capture the true essence of the region.
