A nail-biting finale to the 2022 growing season saw the vineyard lashed by fierce winds and rainy squalls.

Yet the shiraz slowly developed both an array of dark fruit aromatics and lush, juicy fruit weight and developed fine and complete tannins, highlighting the granitic minerality of the site and the complexity formed by farming in a marginal yet consistent site.

ppearance: deep magenta, purple edges

Aroma: dark berry compote, blackberry, mulberry, spiced plum, violets and lavender, hint of baking spices, cracked black pepper

Palate: dark juicy black and purple berry fruit, fine complete tannins, firm but refined, juicy, generous, salted plum, hints of cedar, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, star anise

About Dukes Vineyard

Duke’s Vineyard is an award-winning, ten-hectare vineyard in the cool-climate Great Southern wine region of Western Australia producing dry Rieslings, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The vineyard is a unique site that sits at the feet of the ancient granite Porongurup peaks and has views of the Stirling Range to the north. It is characterised by warm ripening days and cooler nights tempered with maritime breezes.

Duke and Hilde Ranson established the vineyard in 1999 and proceeded to garner many top wine awards including the Halliday Wine of the Year in 2019 for the 2017 Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling.

In 2022, they retired and handed the business to Winemaker Ben Cane and his partner, Sarah Date. Duke and Ben share the same passion to make beautiful wines from an exceptional terroir; have the same appreciation for cool climate wines; and like to have a lot of fun in the process of making, enjoying, and selling wine.
