This wine is from Brave Goose, a small producer from the Goulburn Valley wine region in central Victoria and is a shiraz from the 2022 vintage. The Goulburn Valley region is a large one, capturing the area around Seymour, and tracking north through and past Shepparton in Victoria to the state border. This vineyard however appears to be situated at the southern end, en route to the Upper Goulburn. In the glass, this is a regional expression of shiraz, with an aroma of ripe plums and a little spice. The palate is just shy of full bodied and expresses plum and dark cherry characters, supported by alcohol of 14.5%. This is a sound wine that will suit drinking over the next 3 to 5 years. Review Rating: Good (★★★, 86 points). Website: Brave Goose Vineyard. Tasted: November 2026.
