The cooler conditions in 2022 saw Luke deploy shorter maceration times to lessen the stalk influence, which, counterintuitively resulted in a more powerful wine than the 2021. The 2022 Shiraz was fermented wild (with 60% whole bunches) and raised in 5,000-litre old oak cask before being bottled without fining or filtration.
Showcasing all the youthful and vibrant charm we have come to expect from a Lambert Shiraz, the 2022 ramps up the complexity and elegance to another level. It’s aromatic and lively, with a spine of juicy, blue fruits and spice matched by a distinct mineral lift and remarkable finesse throughout the palate. Intense, yet light and full of energy, the finish is long with a peppery and earthy flair. A marvellous release of this wine.
