93 Points – The Wine Front | A Staff Favourite at Liquid Vibe

Premium Yarra Valley Shiraz | Vibrant, Savory & Beautifully Balanced

“An effortlessly drinkable cool-climate Shiraz bursting with energy, spice, and soul — pure Luke Lambert brilliance.”

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep crimson-ruby with violet hues and youthful brightness.
Aroma: Aromatics leap from the glass — blackberry, dark cherry, cracked pepper, and a whisper of smoked herbs, lifted by subtle florals.
Palate: Medium-bodied and alive with cool-climate tension. Juicy black fruits weave through pepper, olive tapenade, and mineral spice. Fine, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity bring freshness and drive.
Finish: Long, savoury, and mouth-watering — a perfect balance of fruit purity, spice, and restraint.

Critical Acclaim

  “Vivid, bright, and full of life — the quintessential Crudo: spicy, savoury, and bursting with drinkability.”

Vineyard & Winemaking

Crafted by Luke Lambert, one of the Yarra Valley’s most respected minimal-intervention winemakers.
Fruit is hand-picked from the Sleight of Hand vineyard in the Valley’s cool northern slopes, naturally fermented with wild yeasts and matured in large neutral oak to preserve freshness and transparency.

No heavy extraction, no winemaking artifice — just pure site expression and Lambert’s signature finesse.

Region
