2022 KOOMILYA JC Block Shiraz

2026 SHIRAZ OF THE YEAR (Halliday Wine Companion) 

"Clear as day, a victory by a large margin; the 2022 JC Block Shiraz from Koomilya is certainly one of Australia’s greatest wines." – Katrina Butler

A single block Shiraz from 50 year old vines grown on ancient, dark grey salty siltstone rich in ironstone rubble, facing south-west at an altitude of 120m.

The JC Block is named for Jill Cant, the previous owner, and was the first block Stephen worked with on the vineyard during his tenure as Chief Red Winemaker at Hardy's.

Tasting Note

Flavour

The most fruit driven of the trio, does not inhale. Quince paste, vanilla bean, a whole heap of black fruits, chorizo, paprika, red currant jelly and hickory.

Texture

Intially delicate and pretty but then the tannins expand and blossom slowly opening and shaped like a camelia with mant petals. Intesnse but svelte, pure and poised. A complete wine.

Cellaring

Set up for a long life in a cool cellar try 15 plus years. Best decanted an hour before drinking.
