Description

Lock and Key is the entry label of Moppity Vineyards in NSW high country.

Shiraz is what Moppity do best, and at around $20 this little beauty is the perfect way to get to know their crowd-pleasing style. The wines of Moppity toe the line between cool-climate spice and warm climate richness - as owner Jason Brown says, "It's the best of both worlds."

It's firm and ripe yet elegant and balanced - if there's a more complete cool climate Australian Shiraz at the same price then we'd love to see it.

A no-brainer and great value for any night of the week.

    Easy drinking affordable red.

    A really lovely wine, soft on the palate with some lovely fruity notes. A great wine to drink while in isolation! Really good value. Love Moppity VIneyards.

Our Lock & Key Shiraz has built it’s own reputation for consistently producing high quality, cool climate Shiraz well above it’s price point. All the fruit is sourced from our high altitude, single vineyard in Hilltops, Southern NSW. We believe a key element of all ‘Moppity Shiraz’ comes from the art of blending small batches of different blocks and clones to produce wines that have a kaleidoscope of flavour and textural profiles.

Moppity Vineyard

The Moppity Vineyard in the cool elevate Hilltops region of NSW was planted back in 1973, and was taken over some 30 years later by Jason and Alecia Brown, looking to fulfil their dreams of making world class Shiraz.

They now look after some 170 acres, and while their award-winning Shiraz is still top dog, they make modern, expressive and downright delicious cool climate Cabernet, Merlot, Riesling and Chardonnay, and have seen a recent move to alternative varieties that is already paying big dividends.

Check out their entry-level Lock & Key range for some great value everyday drinkers.
