Buy OnlineFull bodied, voluptuous and richly fruited Clare Valley Shiraz that is, as the name would suggest, dark as dark. This is no hold barred great drinking for lovers of the full on Clare Valley style. And if you are into the matching of wine and music, the power and brooding nuance of this wine makes it the perfect accompaniment to the Pink Floyd album of the same name.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Welcome vintage 2023 – once again from our home in the Clare Valley, the classic hit returns to the play list! This release of our fan favourite, Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz, is intially aromatic and herbaceous but as it dances across the palate moves to dark plum, raspberry licorice and finishes elegant with fine, grippy tannins.
A cooler vintage and return to healthier annual rainfalls following consecutive drought years – our vines repaid our patience producing wines so delicious you'll want to explore your Dark Side again and again."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Beautifully fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows blackberry, sweet cherry, mixed spice and vanillin oak characters, leading to a succulent palate that's plump and weighty. Generously textured with well-balanced tannins, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2034."
93/100 Ken Gargett, WinePilot.com, February 2025 (2022 Vintage)
"The only thing that this wine will please more than the crowd are the wallets they carry. This is always a deservedly popular Clare Shiraz. An intense vibrant crimson hue, this is all chocolate and blackberries with plums, root vegetables, cloves, bay leaves, soy and licorice. A touch of cassis on the finish ties it together. This is a savoury style with a supple texture, sleek tannins, good balance, fine acidity and real length. There is good intensity throughout and it will prove why it is so popular, over the next eight to ten years. Cracking value."
93/100 Tony Love, WinePilot.com, June 2025 (2022 Vintage)
"The Pink Floyd album of the same name as this wine was a progressive music blockbuster, quite deep at times in its own style of story-telling. This Shiraz provides its own set of complexities: a smoky, charry, meaty layering in its aromatic greeting, dark roasted root veggies as well, while the fruit senses are mainly in the black cherry spectrum. Once tasted, there’s no escaping the darker fruit, high percentage cacao and obvious ground pepper notes. Give this some air-time for the wine to reveal the purity in its fruit expression, albeit dark-sided, as there’s plenty to appreciate now with a promise it will evolve successfully over the next 10 years. Excellent value."
