95 Points James Halliday Wine Companion

Some wines whisper, some wines shout—but this one speaks with effortless confidence. The Silkman Shiraz 2022 is proof that small-batch, meticulously crafted Hunter Valley Shiraz is in a league of its own. This isn't just another bottle of Shiraz; it's a statement piece—a bold yet balanced expression of fruit purity, silky tannins, and refined elegance.

Silkman has quickly become one of Australia's hottest boutique producers, and with Liz Silkman being crowned 2025 Halliday Winemaker of the Year, this is a must-have bottle from a winemaker at the peak of their craft. Deep, dark, and bursting with plush Hunter Valley fruit, this Shiraz offers layers of blackberries, dark cherries, and spice, wrapped in ultra-fine tannins and a long, savoury finish.

If you're looking for top-tier Shiraz from the Hunter, this is it. Exclusive, small-batch, and available now—don’t miss out.
