Critic reviews
"The 2023 Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz hails from a cool, wet season not too dissimilar to 2017, if you wanted a comparison. The fruit is from vines grown in both Nuriootpa (69 years old) and Greenock (34 years old). Aromatically, the wine leads with strawberries and cherries, raspberries and pink peppercorns. In the mouth, the wine is fine and medium-bodied at best. This matured in French oak (40% new now, down from a much higher proportion in its first vintage in 2008), with some whole bunches in there, all of this making for a spicy, supple wine. It's really good. The vintage may have played into the hands of the style here—it all works cohesively. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

"This pretty and evocative 2023 Shiraz Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer is well made and opens with beautifully pitched floral, five-spice and red cherry aromas. It’s fleshy yet manicured, with finer tannins that provide good support for enjoyment over the medium term."
