Ferngrove The Orchard Collection Dragon shiraz 2024

A worthy follow-up to the trophy-winning '23 vintage. '24 was hot in WA, but good vineyard management in some of these southern areas has resulted in very tidy wines indeed, and this is certainly one of them. Aromas of spicy plum and dark chocolate provide a captivating introduction to a soft, plush and generous wine. It's a brilliant and bright expression of great southern shiraz, with just a faint hint of minerally ferrous character. Controlled by fine, chalky tannins and subtle oak. A most stylish wine.
