2024 West Cape Howe Regional Range Frankland River Shiraz
Tax included.
Deep Ribena Purple colour. Beautiful perfume aromatics. There’s a fair bit of oak here — but it just works. Like a Black Forest gâteau: balanced, complex and comforting all at once. Concentrated black fruits, cherry compote and ripe latepicked plums layered with dark mocha, vanilla, rich cacao powder and a light dusting of Biscoff spice. Dutch liquorice, olive brine, graphite and pencil shavings bring savoury depth, while violets, blood orange blossom and wild thyme flowers keep things pretty alongside that unmistakable Frankland River red dirt. Rich and mouth-filling — juicy, plush dark fruits up front roll across the tongue, followed by lovely tactile, chewy, chalky tannins with amazing grip. One of those wines where the carpet matched the drapes. Black olive brine and Dutch liquorice lend a salty line of acidity, giving a gorgeous extension to the palate — savoury, fresh and mouth watering. White pepper, nutmeg and earthy bush notes bring that unmistakable Frankland River character, while hints of pomegranate, white nectarine and faint citrus add an unexpected brightness as the wine opens.

Buying At Auction?
Your Questions, Answered
What do you need from me to get started?
We will need you to confirm that you are over 18 (for obvious reasons!) and to open an account by registering on the site. This will include provision of credit card details for any eventual purchases. You will also need to sign that you have read the terms and conditions.
How many wines are in each Lot?
You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?
All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.
How much is the Buyers' Commission?
We have an extremely competitive buyers' commission of 16.5% (GST inclusive). This will be added to the final winning price of your Lot at the end of the auction.
What are your freight charges?
Please see our Delivery Policy for full details relating to freight.
Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
