Introducing Our 2022 Complexity Shiraz – A Labour of Love
We are delighted to unveil our very first, completely “in-house” production, 2022 Complexity Shiraz. From the vineyard to the bottle, every aspect of this remarkable vintage was carefully hand-crafted by us at Milbrodale Farm, in conjunction with our friends from Unruly Wines and some much-appreciated help from many friends and neighbors.
This journey has been a true testament to our unwavering commitment to quality winemaking. Throughout the 2021/22 growing season, we encountered numerous challenges, including high disease loads resulting from the wet weather, demanding growing conditions, and a harvest that posed its own set of difficulties. However, we approached each obstacle with humility, recognizing that it only added to the wine’s complexity. In fact, the repeated phrase “it adds complexity” is the reason we named it as such.
Complexity 2022, is a medium-bodied Shiraz that encapsulates the essence of a genuine Hunter Shiraz. Despite the lower Baume levels caused by the wet weather, we have managed to create a wine that is both delightful to drink now and promises to evolve gracefully with up to 5 years of cellaring.
To honor the handmade nature of this wine, we have chosen to seal it with an authentic cork closure. From hand-picking the grapes to meticulously plunging, pressing, bottling, corking, and even waxing, each bottle has been crafted with utmost care and dedication. It is our humble offering for your enjoyment.
Discover the fruits of our labor and experience the modest elegance of our Complexity 2022 Shiraz.
