LINKE STONEWELL BLOCK SHIRAZ 2023

This juggernaut of a wine shows absolutely no signs of slowing down! The Linke Stonewell Block Shiraz has become one of our most popular Australian reds, with a loyal following of customers who simply can't get enough of its big, rich and incredibly smooth style. And we're pleased to report that the new 2023 vintage is every bit as impressive as its predecessors.

The Linke family has been growing grapes in the Barossa since the 1930s, supplying premium fruit to some of the region's biggest names, including St Hallett and Langmeil. Fortunately for us, they also bottle a portion of their prized Stonewell Block fruit under their own label, at a fraction of the price you might expect.

At 15.5% alcohol, this is unashamedly BIG Barossa Shiraz, packed with luscious blackberry fruit, dark chocolate, exotic spice and cedar, all wrapped up in wonderfully plush, silky tannins. Despite its considerable power, there's a real sense of polish and finesse here too.

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2026 (2023 Vintage)
"Richly fruited and seductively fragrant, the bouquet shows blackberry, star anise, cedar, and dark chocolate characters. It's equally satisfying in the mouth, delivering outstanding weight and plush mouthfeel, superbly complemented by layers of silky tannins. Sumptuous and refined at once. At its best: now to 2038."
