Marko’s Vineyard Point Eight Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2015

Marko's Vineyard Point Eight Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2015

Marko’s Vineyard Point Eight Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2015

I was critical of the last release from Marko’s Vineyard, but this Shiraz is much better. From a 23yr old Vineyard owned by Matthew Hill Smith in the Adelaide Hills. TA 6.15g/L. pH 3.5. 1200 bottles made.

Vibrant purple coloured, it smells every bit the polished Hills Shiraz in a light and spicy form. Ripeness seems about perfect and the fine spicy flavours are quite appealing. It’s just a little tart with a very late suggestion of greenness, but there is some style here. Good, modern Hills Shiraz, if just a fraction lean through the finish. Best drinking: 2017-2027. 17.7/20, 92/100. 14%, $42. Would I buy it? I’d go a glass.

(I use inklpay in lieu of a paywall. A small tip goes a long way to finally paying for hosting!)

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
