Description
Poachers is Hamish Young’s top Shiraz – and the 2024 is a belter.
The fruit comes off Poachers Vineyard near Murrumbateman, a higher, cooler site that gives Shiraz both power and precision. It’s the fuller of his two Shiraz releases, but still made in that unmistakably Hamish way – thoughtful, restrained and quietly confident.
2024 was a steady, even season, and the fruit came in spot-on. Fermented wild, gently worked, and aged in old oak, it’s a wine built around texture and balance rather than muscle.
There’s plenty going on. Dark berries, pepper, a bit of cured meat and firm but fine tannin which sures the whole thing up. It’s structured but fresh, with just enough weight to feel serious without losing that drink-now appeal.
Classically elegant and very smartly put together by Hamish, this is one of the best value premium Shiraz in the region.
