A powerful single-vineyard Shiraz from Bleasdale Vineyards in Langhorne Creek, the Powder Monkey 2022 is crafted from a select block planted to three clones and matured for 12 months in 20% new French oak puncheons.  On the nose it reveals dense blackberry, liquorice and a hint of bitter chocolate, leading to savoury tannins and serious length—a wine built for both impact and cellaring. 

Critically, it has already earned strong accolades: a Silver medal at the 2023 Perth Royal Wine Awards and a top 94 point score from James Halliday’s Wine Companion. With its bold fruit, refined oak and heritage provenance, this is a standout example of modern Australian Shiraz—from one of the country’s most respected family estates.
