Awards, Ratings & Reviews

GOLD — Royal Adelaide Wine Show · 2025

96/100 — Jeni Port, Winepilot · 2023 Vintage · Drinking Window: 2026-2043
“This vintage celebrates 21 years of Tappa Pass Shiraz. The wine has a long history of graceful ageing so you can only imagine that that will continue with the ’23 vintage. The maker suggests another good 20+ years and why not, for amid the black fruits, the violet florals, the spice and earthiness, there is a solid backbone firmly in place. A pure elegance resides here dressed in brilliant crimson-purple hues accompanied by a rousing bouquet of blackberries, violet, Aussie bush scents, black cherries, plum, spice. The palate, nicely crafted, shows a hint of earthy savouriness before launching into a rich trove of spices in cassia bark, clove and dark spiced woody notes to match the dark chocolate, cherry. Ripe and oak (French oak, 10% new). Comes together with an overall Wow! on the finish.”

94/100 — Campbell Mattinson · 2023 Vintage
“Some wines just have that extra something. This wine is one of them. It’s the length of the finish that does it: just when you think that it’s going to stop, it keeps on going. It tastes of plums, tar, rust, smoked meat, mint and malt, and while it’s warm-hearted it’s also both svelte and juicy.”
