About Collector Marked Tree Red Shiraz
The Collector Marked Tree Red Shiraz opens with an inviting and deeply expressive bouquet of dark plum, blackberry compote, and cracked black pepper — hallmarks of cool-climate Australian Shiraz. On the palate, the wine is rich and generously structured, with layers of dark cherry, smoked meat, and mocha unfolding alongside a velvety tannic backbone. The oak integration is seamless, lending subtle vanilla and cedar complexity without overwhelming the fruit. A wine of real depth and regional character, reflecting the elevated, cooler terroir of the Hunter Valley hinterland near Marked Tree Road.
