95 Points - Jane Faulkner
Named 'Best Value Winery' in the 2022 Halliday Wine Companion, Lake Breeze continues to deliver some impressive 'bang-for-buck' wines from their Langhorne Creek winery. This 2023 Lake Breeze Section 54 Shiraz follows in the footsteps of enormously popular recent vintages of this wine, to deliver another phenomenal value Langhorne Creek Shiraz
Lake Breeze's old vine Shiraz grapes were nurtured in small open fermenters, before being placed in French oak for 15 months maturation. The result is an utterly delicious, flavoursome and medium-bodied Shiraz with plenty of trademark regional chocolate and dark berry flavours. With a velvety texture, a touch of spice and a long, balanced finish, this is a Shiraz of enormous appeal at this great price.
"95 Points. I’ve always had a soft spot for this shiraz - it just appeals on so many levels and is ridiculously priced (as in a bargain!). Be greeted by a brilliant dark purple hue, a wave of florals and a baker’s spice range, plus some charry oak. Fuller-bodied, plump, ripe and textural tannins in unison with fresh acidity give an overall vibrancy. Ends with simple drinking pleasure. $26. 14.5% alc. Drink: 2025 - 2033. Screwcap"- Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion.
