2021 Swinging Bridge William J. Shiraz

Swinging Bridge stole the show at the 2023 Orange Wine Show, winning the Trophy for Best Exhibitor, but also the Trophy for Best Wine of Show for this deliciously classy Shiraz.

Named for winemaker Tom Ward's son, this is in every sense a 'cool climate' style of Shiraz, with destemmed fruit and a large whole berry component preserving the wine's freshness and pretty perfume.

It's not without punch and flavour though, and surely represents some of the best value in the Orange region!
