About Professional Wine Ratings

A wine score is the quickest, simplest way for a wine critic to communicate their opinion about the quality of a wine. Professional wine rating scores from a wide range of critics, for example Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, are usually adjusted for the 100-point scale. A mean of these scores is presented for specific vintages of a wine, as well as across all vintages.

About The Wine

The fruit for this 2017 Shiraz Underhill was handpicked from vines planted in 1973, and there was a combination of 75% whole berry and 25% whole bunches in the ferment. The wine spent 10 days to two weeks on the skins and matured for 12 months in French barriques (30% new). In a word: lovely. So lovely. The 2017 Shiraz Underhill has gained a sheath of savory exotic spice that overlays the purple and red fruit. This is vital and alive yet maturing and elegant. It shows firm but lithe tannins and an array of buoyant forrest fruit. It has fresh blackberries for days. The aftertaste leaves a trail of dried herbs—bay and oregano, largely. This is a super, super wine. Elegant. RP

Food Match

A good marriage of food and wine ideally provides more pleasure than enjoying either one separately. As each of us have different sensitivities to various flavours and preferences, the definition of 'perfect pairing' varies, and this makes up the fun part of food and wine pairing.
