Pettavel Estate Geelong Yarra Valley Shiraz 2016 Dozen

A striking example of cool-climate Australian Shiraz, the Pettavel Estate Geelong Yarra Valley Shiraz 2016 reflects both its unique vintage and the pedigree of one of Victoria’s most historic wineries. Crafted with fruit from a standout year and matured for five years before release, this wine shows finesse, complexity and a savoury elegance that sets it apart.On the nose, the bouquet reveals lifted aromas of dark berries, ripe plum and a rare floral nuance, layered with spice and a touch of smoky oak. The palate is vibrant and medium-bodied, driven by fresh acidity and natural fruit sweetness. Flavours of blackberry, black pepper and dark chocolate are finely interwoven with supple tannins and a long, savoury finish. Awarded 92 points by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, it’s a testament to the harmony achievable in cool-climate Shiraz.Versatile at the table, this Shiraz pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, roasted duck breast, or charred eggplant with miso glaze—dishes that highlight the wine’s layered character and lingering spice.Proudly produced by the iconic Pettavel Estate Wines, this is a cellar-worthy release that showcases the elegance of Shiraz from both Geelong and the Yarra Valley.
