"The 2020 vintage was a very good vintage in Margaret River for the variety, and at that point, perhaps the best yet—the low yields and warm/dry conditions played into the hands of the variety. The 2020 Art Series Shiraz typifies this, in that the tannins are resolved, and in the context of Margaret River, really quite firm. The Shiraz clones on the estate vineyard in Wallcliffe are 470, Waldron and Peppy Park cuttings (planting 2019). Sealed under screw cap. The fruit for this wine was wholly sourced from the estate Peppy Park vineyard, 17 kilometers south of the main estate vineyard in the Boodjidup/Wallcliffe area. The wine was matured for 18 months in 600-liter demi-muids (a Bordelais and Rhône coopers). "Our priority is opening up the canopies to obtain proper solarization of bunches," said Lovett."

"Aromas of pitted cherries, grilled herbs, overturned earth and whole nutmeg. Medium- to full-bodied with structured, sturdy tannins. Fresh acidity lifts up the savory fruit and sweet spice. Very good intensity and depth here. A bit of chew at the finish. Best after 2023. Screw cap."

"Density of flavour and plushness of fruit, including blackberry, alongside spiced fruit cake and a nice, stalky tension. There's a degree of opulence, with the fruit weight and ripeness understandable given the warmer year. Fresh acid drive and with fine, silty tannins, this is a lively and energised iteration of the variety, yet with a plush fruit complexity and a mineral weave throughout. Oak is used judiciously, and there is a lovely warmth and tonal spice. An inviting and comforting Margaret River Shiraz."
