Mt. Monster Shiraz
Morambro Creek
Australia - Limestone Coast

The Bryson family established Mt. Monster wines in 2005 with pristine fruit from their cool climate vineyard at Padthaway. Environmentally friendly viticulture, hand pruned, low yielding mature vines, grown on terra rossa soil and exceptional fruit are how they consistently produce outstanding wines. Modern winemaking and minimal processing is employed to ensure the purity, integrity, texture and flavor from the vineyard.

Mt. Monster is a unique, rocky granite outcrop with panoramic views over the Limestone Coast, north of Padthaway.

Deep purple in color. Ripe cassis and black plum fruits on the nose with violets. Varietal fruit-driven palate, with cassis and dark berryfruit and spice flavors. Soft tannins compliment the fruit with mouth-filling generous finish.

Vinification
Fermented in static fermenters at controlled temperatures to retain the varietal aromatics. Once complete the wine is left for 7–10 days on skins to aide in the extraction of soft
fleshy tannins and build wine structure. French & American oak has been used sparingly to ensure maximum fruit expression is retained in the final wine.

bti silver 2023"Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of leather, blood orange and black cherry, dusty earth, and irises and sanguine with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a warming, engaging, medium-length finish revealing impressions of black pepper dusted black berries and red cherries, leather and black tea, teriyaki peppered jerky, and bbq salmon with medium, chewy tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. An Australian Shiraz with some funky and interesting Southern Rhone vibes."

wine enthusiast 88 pts"From South Australia's sunshine soaked Limestone Coast, this is a ripe, polished Shiraz that opens with notes of chocolate plum cake, pepper spice, beets and vanillin oak. There's an astringency to the granular tannins, which dries the mouth out, but the fruit is there, too. A bit more personality than most in its price range. - CHRISTINA PICKARD"

wa"Eucalypt, rhubarb, and boysenberry aromas appear on the nose of the 2016 Shiraz. It's medium to full-bodied, with the supple tannins and crisp acids expected in this sort of wine. Easy to drink and priced for a crowd. - Joe Czerwinski"
