About this Wine

The last few years have seen a serious uptick in the calibre of Murdoch Hill’s Syrah. This should come as no surprise; the quality of the raw material combined with the talent of vigneron Michael Downer is a proven combination. Murdoch Hill’s prowess with cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is written in stone; now Syrah joins the ranks of this estate’s classics.

“Among the vanguard of exceptional Australian shiraz,” Ned Goodwin MW wrote of the 2022 release. Campbell Mattinson showed equal admiration for the same wine, prefacing his effusive review with: “This isn't your average gear.” In the mould of the preceding two seasons, 2023 was long and cool, and the resulting fruit was exceptional: perfectly ripe with detailed, composed flavour and texture profiles.

Though not the most expensive bottling in the range, Landau is Downer’s signature wine in many ways. It comes from a single parcel at Murdoch Hill’s Landau block in Oakbank. It’s a predominately east-facing slope at 400 metres on shallow, red loam soils with varying levels of schist rock and a vein of ironstone. The vines were planted in 1998. Oakbank’s warmer, sunny days allow the Syrah to fully ripen while the afternoon breezes and cool nights promote natural acidity. The block is sustainably managed according to organic principles, with zero herbicides.

Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.

NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”

You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
